Questions for Ken Paff

[Gimliboston9]

Hey Ken , where do you sit at that table? Next to O’Brien or at a table in the next room? Or do you attend via Zoom?

[WTF891]

He has a clear view up Seanie's ass.

[NYNick]

That’s not a question.

[Nickjamesups]

What did you think about UPS negotiations? What is TDU position on the NDA’s ? Wasn’t it just another name for a “ Brownout”?

[The Direct Line]

The NDA's is the new "Brownout 2.0".

I have a question for Paff, now that Richard Hooker has announced there will be an election who will tdu support?

[Thisischange?]

Good question, Hooker was a TDU member at one time TDU, Paff and Levin all helped him on his campaign. TDU attacked the Boston bully who along with Freddy the fraud befriended TDU only to treat them as usefull idiots. Glad to see the OZholes have a challenger. Let's see what the rest of his slate looks like. O'Brien will slime and slander all of his opponents, he does not want to talk about his failed 1st term. Berlin Rosen will get fat over the next year and a half.

[Nickjamesups]

So let me get this straight, TDU supports O’Brien who was video taped attacking members and TDU itself and backs Zuckerman who had license plates saying TDU sucks?
Hey Paff can you answer why?

[NYNick]

Maybe people need to ask these questions at the tdu convention.

[Bob Randall]

TDU clearly provides the IBT members a necessary resource. The IBT never really did too much to teach or promote internal organizing. I still have respect for the grueling, dedicated work that the organization performed as a reform movement. Ken, Dave, Beth have been relentless. However, I think that the issue of O'Brien's love of Trump should be addressed at the convention and/or amongst TDU members. Trump's/O'Brien's ideology directly conflicts with that of a labor union's ideology. Even if TDU's purpose is no longer that of a watchdog's purpose I gotta believe that there are still reform minded rank and filers that keep reform close to their hearts. It is, as it should be, an organization driven by its members. Look...no party/organization is ever without is disagreements. It can't expect to always come to terms with all of those. Gotta pick your spots. However, O'Brien's willingness to fall in step with a union buster? That's a whole 'nother disagreement.

If you did ask any of these questions you would quickly be on the banned list

[WTF891]

Maybe people need to ask these questions at the tdu convention.

Absolutely, time for TDU members to take control of the organization. Paff and Levine are clearly hand puppets for the little dictator.

[Gimliboston9]

Het Paff, TDU 50th anniversary, just who will be the guest speaker? Will it be a founder of TDU? Like LaBotz or Kilmury? Or a reform presidential candidate like Leedham or Pope? Will it be someone who from the original TDU or will you have the new TDU champions? O’Brien or Zuckerman? Hey! Why not invite Trump?

[Nickjamesups]

Great question! Just who are you inviting Ken?

[Watcher745]

I think you should invite Richard Hooker to be a guest speaker, hold a question and answer event between Hooker and O’Brien and anyone else who declares they are running. Let the members listen and then tell you who they want to endorse.

[NYNick]

Watcher , are you saying that Paff should be democratic? You mean like teamsters for a DEMOCRATIC union?

[jerseymike78]

I have a question for Paff, are you prepared for the protests that are planned at the TDU convention? Will you try and stop people from speaking at the microphone? Last question, will you be wearing a Teamsters vs Everyone tee shirt?

[NYNick]

I wonder if he will be selling them?

[Teamsterstrong]

A good question would be what happen to your big supporter Matt Maini from 251 ? lol

[AlJackson1962!]

Based on first hand experience, the problem with TDU leadership (as in Paff and Levin) is they are inconsistent, in terms of which and what battles they think TDU should fight for. Whether it's a battle regarding Teamster democracy (or lack thereof), or a battle regarding representation by local and International leadership, that Teamster members have every right to expect and demand from their bargaining agent(s).

In the Union, as in life, one's principles and ideals must be consistent, if they are to have any purpose or meaning. Otherwise, they are like an empty suit.

[NYNick]

Jackson, are you saying Paff is an empty suit?
