FOX interviews their favorite Union President (again)

[OT+]

When does the $200,000 club come out? I bet everyone on that list is a Oz supporter! Why not? They are certainly getting theirs! They have done a great job of protecting their bottom lines while we face layoffs and staff reductions. TDU has learned to protect their bottom line also, that is why they don’t publish the $200,000 list any longer, they don’t publish the members bill of rights anymore either, they don’t object to multiple salaries and multiple pensions anymore , not since they got their share of the cash. O’Brien did learn something from Hoffa! “ Talk tough, settle short , claim victory” he has learned members love to be told just how tough we are and how it should be us vs everybody ( I still don’t get that one) .

TDU/Levine actually wrote a piece explaining that $200,000 is no longer an outrageous amount. That was a couple of years ago in an attempt to explain the reason they stopped publishing the list. I believe it coincided with the endorsement of O’Brien ( wouldn’t want to piss him off)

Brother Gimliboston9, if O'Brien (and TDU leadership: ISC, Paff/Levin) are not pissed off at the open criticism any individual Teamster member directs at them (given the current circumstances we face because of the direction our Union has taken under OZ) , they should step it up. Wear condemnation from OZ as a badge of honor. But, I recognize that you're directing that comment "(wouldn't want to piss him off)" at TDU/Levin.

I was saying that Levine wouldn’t want to piss off O’Brien by posting his and his supporters salary and implying it was hard to relate to members when you are making 4-5 times more then they are.
