O'Brien Dinged for Taking Employer Contributions

[Thisischange?]

O'Brien found guilty of using employer contributions on his really bad ideas program.

Guess what Ken Paff said about this?

“NO BIG DEAL!!! “

When did Hooker take an employers contribution? Have Ken post them both on the TURD's page. Until then Ken STFU and count your dirty money you scumbag.

Good job John Palmer. I find the dialogue engaged in by O'Brien (words, context, intent, etc.) in these podcasts to be childish, unprofessional and disgusting. There are so many important things that could be discussed in a public forum in an effort to effectuate positive change. It tells me where his head is really at. Or even capable of being at. This reads like a secretly recorded conversation by the FBI of mobster thugs. Listening to this conversation held by IBT Officers makes it difficult for me to be a "proud" Teamster. It was difficult for me not to throw up in my own mouth. What a punk. That is embarrassing.

The word is thug. Although punk fits almost as well.

Sounded like they “ bugged” the back room at the Bing in the Sopranos! These wanna be wiseguys talking shit about the nameless Hooker. They ask what’s his plan, I ask WHATS THEIR PLAN? O’Brien has done nothing but run a public relations tour since the day he got elected. If the members actually looked at that “ historic” for what it is or isn’t he would loose the UPS vote.
