Questions for Ken Paff

[Gimliboston9]

Hey Paff, what do you think of so many prominent TDU associates signing that letter calling for no endorsement of O’Brien? LaBotz ! Packer! Savwoir! I even saw that Kilmury liked the letter!
TDU members all over Facebook liking and making comments in favor of the letter. Even Crowe came out of retirement to protest a O’Brien endorsement! Not one post objecting to it! What are you going to do when they all show up at the convention? Will you ban them like you banned Palmer?

It was also signed by three candidates that TDU endorsed, Leedham, Sylvester and Randall.

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.

Their principles were comprimised when they viewed the payola from locals paying for members to attend their TURDshow. In plain and simple terms it's a conflict of interest. If they stick to their core principles they no longer recieve the massive funding from the OZiffer run locals. I think they are worthy of the officialTURD designation.

The banned list for the TDU convention is growing. Just got the following text from a Teamsters Mobilize member,

"Afternoon! They have been refunding the registration back to all the members of Teamsters Mobilize! I thought about sending mine in for the hell of it! "

[AlJackson1962!]

If the banned Teamsters Mobilize members can all collectively issue a statement about the method used to ban them from TDU and the TDU Convention, I believe that will help build momentum for confronting the hypocrisy that TDU is using in stacking the Convention in favor of those members that will toe the Paff/Levin line (appeasement for the OZ Slate's anti-worker support of Trump/MAGA).

I think all the banned members should show up and speak with members outside of the convention areas and let them know just how and why they were banned.

[Gimliboston9]

I have heard rumors that that just might happen!
