[Mr. Teamster]

Wow, this is how you take back the union lol

[Jose Francisco Negrete]

Ok fair criticism. You tell me how you think we are going to take back our union?

[Mr. Teamster]

Quit being such a negative person. Quit hiding on this site and get involved in your union. Why don’t you try and run. You’ve obviously had success with the 12 people that come here. Now it’s time for you to step your game up. Run put your name out there, Jose. That’s how you do it. What you’re doing here is a joke. And I’m not trying to say that to be rude or disrespectful but it’s a joke. 10 years from now you’re still gonna be on the Internet doing this and you’ll still have affected no change. And I would distance myself from that other knucklehead. Your skill level is a lot higher than his.

This group will hold no influence over the election. Just like they had zero influence on ups contract vote. A joke

[Moyama]

I was on one of their calls and thought it was very good as long as they stick to union stuff. Considering where things are at right now they'll continue to grow, like it or not.

[Bob Randall]

Well intended group that has no idea what to do and cares not to take advice. How the fuck do you say "I disagree" to a guy like Tom Leedham that has miles and miles of specific experience with this kind of organizing as well as knowledge of the IBT Constitution? When a guy like that makes suggestion there are only two things to do. 1: Shut the fuck up. 2: Say "Thank you" Arrogance leads to one destination. Failure!

All struggles for justice in our Union should be encouraged and supported. I plan to be on the call Sunday with Teamsters Mobilize. TDU's "seat at the table" is "the joke". The TDU Steering Committee has abandoned the founding principles of TDU and sold out to O'Brien for it's "seat at the table". Now, more than ever, given the rise of fascism in the US that has permeated our Union, we need rank and file members that are willing to stand up and speak their mind.

Local 299 steward, Pete Camarata stood as the lone IBT Convention delegate in 1976 to oppose Frank Fitzsimmons. Each step forward is the beginning of a long march forward.
