Danny was my BA at Preston, my Local Prez at 135. He's fair, bends over backwards to keep companies in business so we keep jobs. If they've ticked HIM off, they've really gone too far!
I wouldn't exactly call Danny laid back, but he's no hothead. Now that have him riled tho, yrc will be well-advised to turn back...
He didn't get where he is by being walked on.
Wow....been a Teamster for 48 years and even he can't retire...we are all doomed!....KK
Tyson Johnson has been a proud Teamster since 1967. During that time, he has served as steward, business agent and an officer of Local 745 in Dallas. He got his first Teamster job in 1967 on the dock at Yellow Freight. He became a business agent for Local 745 in 1979. He served as an officer, including Secretary-Treasurer, of Local 745 from 1985 until 2003. Since then, he has devoted all his energy to his duties as an International Vice President and as the Director of the Teamsters Freight Division and Trustee of the Southern Region Pension Trust.
I'm sure Tyson's going to jump all over Darren Hawkins and James Welch and get this straightened out asap?!
One of our drill instructors made the announcement to our platoon of ....... maggots that evening during mail call.Watched it live with a buddy of mine on black & white TV on that hot Sunday night in my efficiency apartment in an old Victorian house on Lodi Street in Syracuse, New York.
A member of Teamsters Local 299 back in 1968 tells me all I need to know about the man. I was a member from 1974-1981. Taught me all about being a Teamster. 20,000 members back then.
I joined Teamsters Local #299 in Detroit, Jimmy Hoffa's Local, in 1968 working for Ellis Trucking Company. Ellis was bought out by Navajo Freight Lines, I served as both Alternate Steward and Steward for 8 years. I was transferred to Local 135 in Indianapolis in July 1972. I went to work for Local 135 as a Business Representative in 1978. I was appointed Secretary-Treasurer in 1988 and held that position until I was appointed President in 1996. I have 2 sons, a daughter and 2 grandsons.

They say it is illegal to strike or wildcat.If a class action lawsuit filed by a member or members tries to fly.The lawsuit would be thrown out.Because the Union would argueon the basis of "you" don't "understand".Key word here is understand.So how could it be illegal for us to strike or wildcat? It wouldnt.Because we could argue that the Union and the company ddoesn't "understand"...trueAmen a local thst has a set between there legs. Hoffa look the membership has had enough. Time to walk. Get the burn barrels its time to throw down.

Did you notice the line was near the liquor store.LOLHIT THE BRICKS! ..LIKE THEY DID IN 1970!
And a good time was had by all.........HIT THE BRICKS! ..LIKE THEY DID IN 1970!
Yes, the infamous "Antons" on Archwood Avenue next to the old Roadway Express terminal in Akron!Did you notice the line was near the liquor store.LOL
I just want to make a few points here.
1) the Company and Union have a binding Contract that doesn't expire until 2019. Read about Contract Law.
2) If the Company locks US out or we Wildcat, there will be Legal Ramifications, fines and or imprisonment.
3) While I applaud the action Danny took to uphold the MOU, it's what He is suppose to do, I'm fairly certain that this goes on everyday somewhere in this Operation.
