[Mr. Teamster]

Is this really a thing

[overnighter]

Ohhhhh snap:

“TDU reserves the right to exclude from membership, and from attendance at the TDU Convention, individuals who oppose TDU and its principles. Accordingly, the TDU co-chairs have reviewed and rejected your application to renew your TDU membership.”

[Gimliboston9]

Hasn’t TDU opposed their own principles? The elimination of the members bill of rights? The total blackout of reporting real teamster news unless it praises O’Brien? Suggestion for those not allowed to attend the convention, the hotel has a bar and a restaurant and a lobby they are open to the public! Or even better, reserve a room , it will drive them crazy seeing you there and you can speak to members and tell them that you are banned.

Never question the TURD.

What Teamster would want to be part of TDU now anyway? They've just become a group of the corrupt officials they once fought to expose.

[AlJackson1962!]

I remain a TDU member to fight for the goals and visions of those that helped build TDU during the times when doing so, put your job at risk, and sometimes your health and safety. Those TDU activists, friends, and comrades that were willing to stand up to the corrupt union misleaders and corrupt employers, rank and file Teamsters such as:

Arthur Doty, Local 829 and Local 504; Dave Wofinsohn, Local 853; Pete Camarata, Local 299;, Johnny Loughlin, Local 25; Teddy Katsaros, Local 282; Walter Kudla, Local 282;, Larry Kudla, Local 282; Bob Whouley, Local 25 and Local 504; Tim Costello, Local 25 and Local 504; Jerry Crowley, Local 82. Dennis Nagle, Local 25. They are all now deceased, but may they never be forgotten!

Ken Paff and David Levin have allowed TDU to be hijacked by Sean O'Brien. That's pathetic.

[Watcher745]

You need to include the others who have allowed this , Willy Hardy , Dan Campbell are also complicit as well as many others who have remained silent.
“ The hottest place in hell is reserved for those who in a time of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality “

[AlJackson1962!]

Well, Paff and Levin are the only two full-time TDU Organizers in TDU's history. I recognize that many TDU members have followed Paff's line of thinking: work with those that oppose union democracy for the purpose of "coalition building" and "seats at the table". I say, stand up and tell it like it is - speak truth to power.

[Gimliboston9]

Watcher is correct! Dan Campbell and Hardy are just as guilty as Paff, Dan Cambell is the figure head of teamsters against Trump yet he is responsible for us being in this position with O’Brien supporting Trump! If Trump is elected he can thank O’Brien, levin, Hardy and Campbell !
TDU wants it both ways honor O’Brien at the convention while opposing him thru TAT on the downlow!

[NYNick]

I don’t understand , are you saying that TDU and Teamsters against Trump are the same group of people? How does that work? TDU supports O’Brien so that would mean they support his views on the democrats f****** us so why would they then be against Trump? That makes no sense.
I’m confused.

[jm481]

TDU endorsed O'Brien for their own benefit, to get more access in IBT after he won the election in 2021. They sold out and crossed out their principles in their constitution after they endorsed O'Brien. Teamsters Against Trump is a way for them to save face, they can create a front organization that supports Democrats while still inviting O'Brien to their convention this fall, because he is still their candidate. It's all a game and it means nothing, like O'Brien saying he is independent from both parties, when unions today including IBT are totally dependent on Democrats in Congress.

[WTF891]

[Teamsterstrong]

TDU is a cult they don’t have are interest in there mind at all all about them and Levine extorting money from these sheep

Because Paff or Levin asked for PERMISSION; otherwise, heads would be rolling at the IBT. That SOB will fire ANYONE that even hints of disobedience. These clowns are 100% bought and paid for; they have never been reformers, and they never will be; they are sell-out MFers worse than ANY so-called old guard leader. At least the old guard guys were honest about their dishonesty.
