Questions for Ken Paff

[overnighter]

These are the same old fights and not worth spending time on anymore. TDU was always (despite the histrionics) a political party, a destructive, empty, angry group that preferred to fight internally rather than build the teamsters. Paff and the cosplaying wanna be teamster commie Levin have to live with the results. The history books will show them as the sellouts we always knew them to be. TDU was drawn in and eaten alive by the very forces they were supposedly fighting. If there wasn't so much on the line, it would be comedic. If you care about the future of the union-ignore this stuff and just do the work in the hope of better leadership someday.

NYNick:

I'm saying that he has sold out the principles that defined TDU; the principles that built the TDU movement that changed what was the most corrupt Union in North America, into a much more democratic and transparent Union that "put the members first". Now, Paff and Levin, don't want to hear about nor expose serious problems with how the Teamsters is being run: lack of accountability from Teamster leadership, ignoring basic democratic rights, like free speech, and chilling the atmosphere for dissent, while TDU has nothing to say about GP O'Brien's signing on to the racist, fascist Trump/MAGA policies that are setting back the US Labor movement by decades. Paff and Levin will say that TDU doesn't get involved in politics. The politics supported by O'Brien, transcend any such "provision of the TDU Constitution". We should all wait for puppet O'Brien to bury us with his podcast buddies JD Vance, Josh Hawley, et al, because TDU doesn't get involved in politics? That is akin to cutting our own throats!

I've seen lots of TDU activists pass away over the last 15 years. They put their shoulder to the wheel to fight the corruption, blacklisting, sell out bargaining. I won't sit by and watch all they fought for get destroyed by Sean O'Brien and his lackies.

So, to answer your question: Paff and Levin are empty suits (I could come up with more descriptive words). They suck up to O'Brien and leave all the decades of struggle in the dumpster.

Is it true there will be a protest at the tdu convention?

[Nickjamesups]

Every TDU member should demand the endorsement of Hooker over O’Brien! I hear there is an organized campaign to do this at the convention.
So here is my question to Paff, what will you do when there is an uprising against the utter failure of Oz? Will you spend your time lobbying against Hooker at the convention? Or will you ask him for a seat at his table?

[Gimliboston9]

Hey Paff is it true you don’t want Palmer at the convention? Heard a rumor that your handpicked steering committee has to vote on his membership renewal, is that true? If so it sure doesn’t sound like a DEMOCRATIC UNION.

[NYNick]

Everyone is welcome!! Unless you disagree with Paff!

[jerseymike78]

I want to know what Paff thinks about “ ‘‘twas the night before” ?

[Teamsterstrong]

Where is Matt maini the sexual assailant ?

[jerseymike78]

Hey Mr Paff will you be inviting O’Brien’s newest organizer the white nationalist to the tdu convention? You seem to be banning some members how about this guy?

[Nickjamesups]

Hey Ken , do you or TDU have anything to say about O’Brien hiring a white supremest?

[Watcher745]

Hey Ken does TDU have a women’s group? What do they think of this?

So Ken, where is the Voice article on all the new air conditioned trucks? Did you write an article on heat safety webinars hosted by TDU? How many bottles of water have been given out ? That would be a good story!

[Thisischange?]

TDU water bottles provided for a minimal fee. Credit cards accepted 3% usage fee added. Enjoy your water.

Has that TDU Socialist ever answered any of your questions.

[Bob Randall]

Throughout Labor history socialists have worked passionately to make progress within. Moreso than any other group within. They need not offer any apology. Nor, should they hide. O'Brien could take a lesson or two.

[Faust]

Has that TDU Socialist ever answered any of your questions.

TDU is linked to DSA.

DSA is social democratic organization similar to those in Scandinavian countries. They have faith the Democratic party can be reformed.

[Gimliboston9]

So Paff , who will be speaking at the TDU convention? It’s only three months away , who is scheduled? Will Hooker be given a spot or Palmer? Will you invite Leedham , Pope,
Kilmury ,Gilmartin or ANY real reformers?
