OK....My 2 key strokes worth....ALL contracts have been voted on by using the 50% plus 1 for many years now...this will be no different....the ONLY Local to say no in the vote at the 2 man was Local 600, St. Louis, or they just sat there and said nothing....with that said....it does not matter if your Local officials are trying to "sell it" or not....it is up to YOU...THE ABF TEAMSTER to get off your collectively bargained asses and vote!
If you believe management.....then vote yes.....if you do not...then vote no, and we will see what ABF's next move is!...Why be pissed off at your Local?...It is a National contract negogiated by The Committee....it is up to YOU if it passes or not!...I'm Just Sayin'.....KK
Now, This is mine:
You say that if you believe management…what a joke!!!! Where in the hell have you been! TYSON is pushing these concessions.
Why be pissed at the locals:
The locals should be representing the wishes of the rank and file and standing up to Tyson. This is clearly not the case. I can see their reasoning though, it would be political ******* for them to do so. But I do blame Tyson! He is single handedly destroying everything that we have fought for in the past and turning the pitting the locals against the rank and file. Our solidarity will be a thing of the past. You just sit back and watch! Tyson made one big mistake by thinking that he can continue to intimidate the rank and file to anything that he desires. He is pushing this just as much as the company, if not more.
You say that it doesn’t matter if they are trying to sell it to you:
You are dead wrong! They are worse than the company when they try to ram this down our throats. We pay the union for representation, not to try and convince us in which way to vote. We are all grown men and women and can make educated decisions on our own behalf. We don’t need pushed into making one that Tyson believes. I really can’t tell you the real reason that Tyson is selling this, we may never find out but it is not in the best interest of the rank and file.Just ask any ABF Teamster. We are OVERWHELMINGLY AGAINST this!!!!!!!!!
I am a Teamster and will stand up to anybody that tries to weaken and destroy it,even if it’s from within our leadership.A true teamster will not follow blindly or sit back and do nothing when they see it is being destroyed from within.
The day of intimidation is over Tyson..you just went too far!
