      He can spell and articulate, which is something you should work on.

      I agree big time. I will be revealing a whole lot of things about our local (623) in the future. Stay tuned!

    Unlike, Ron Carey, Tom Leedham, and Sandy Pope, Richard Hooker and The Fearless Slate do not have the full support of TDU*. Instead, TDU is backing an IBT GEB that covers up corruption , collects multiple salaries, implements contractual benefits without any ratification by the members covered under the Contract (UPS buyouts), supports right to work for less politicians, remains silent if not outright supports the most ant-worker, racist, President in our lifetimes, advocates for legislation that mandates binding arbitration for all first contracts, uses PR firms to sell contracts to the members, the list is long.

    I encourage all elected IBT Delegates to the IBT Convention: VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE, IT'S A SECRET BALLOT NOMINATION VOTE, ONLY YOU WILL KNOW HOW YOU MARKED YOUR BALLOT (unless the Delegates unanimously nominate one slate). AFTER FIGHTING 50 YEARS FOR UNION DEMOCRACY INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO ELECT TEAMSTER INTERNATIONAL OFFICERS, AN UNCONTESTED ELECTION IN A 1.3 MILLION MEMBER UNION, KNOWING WE'LL HAVE FIVE MORE YEARS OF THE ABOVE, WOULD BE A CLEAR SIGN THAT OUR UNION HAS RAISED A WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER TO THE FIGHT FOR A RANK AND FILE EMPOWERED UNION. GIVE THE RANK AND FILE MEMBERS THE CHOICE TO ELECT THE FEARLESS SLATE. LET THE RANK AND FILE MEMBERS DECIDE.

    THE "BUCKLE YOUR CHIN STRAPS - ITS A FULL CONTACT SPORT"* PRONOUNCEMENTS BY SEAN O'BRIEN AND HIS GEB ENABLERS IS A SHAM:**

    * I am a current member of TDU

    **Sean O'Brien's response to Senator Bernie Sanders question during O'Brien's public on-camera testimony at Senate hearing:
    Senator Sanders asks O'Brien (for all the World to hear and see): "Do you believe stripping thousands of federal workers of their collective bargaining rights is Constitutional?"
    O'Brien's answer: "I'm not here to talk about that."


    - Dave Robbins, Local 251 retired
    (elected Delegate 1991 and 1996 IBT Conventions)

    NOMINATE AND VOTE FOR THE FEARLESS SLATE!

      If OZ wasn't afraid of Hooker they'd do the usual "ignore " routine. They know another option, another name, on the Ballot spells trouble for the mighty OZ.

        Joe Allen is spot on with his suggestion that a new reform movement (organization) is necessary. Here is the problem. True organizers don't grow on trees. Say what you will about Ken Paff and Dave Levine. They have organizing skills and they know how to use them and they do use them. Without those skills TDU would not have grown as it has and would not have had the successes that it had. Organizing to even slight effectiveness takes seriously hard work and dedication. It is grassroots sort of warfare over a long grueling period engaged in by dedicated people. In today's world people use the internet as the primary method of pulling people together. It is a more comfortable and less taxing way of trying to build. In my limited experience I believe that Richard Hooker, as well as Teamsters Mobilize members, are coming from the right place and have good intentions. However, also in my limited experience, it appears to me that neither have the skills needed to run an effective campaign for IBT or to build a reform movement. Additionally, I've not heard a podcast or message that seems to resonate with membership. I've not seen the type of grassroots organizing that would lead to an effective, established reform movement. Messages need to be framed in a way that will resonate with certain audiences. Issues must be tailored to the rank and file's interests. Plans must be made with an end to achieve with steps built to that end. Pounding our keyboards, or writing brief articles repeatedly, don't get ya hardly no place. We won't see another reform movement such as the one TDU became until the pendulum swings real hard again and members are pissed off enough. O'Brien has found a balance. He sucks!

          Haha. Well,,, he (Hooker) was afraid to show at the national grievance panel in Chicago yesterday. He had a grievance on the docket and didn't show. Postponed! Just like the Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters,,,, NO SHOW. How's that feel Bruhns? That's your man Bruhns? That's your man Palmer? Hey Vote No, you feeling foolish now? Told you guys this man was a fraud. Now you guys are over there pumping up the same people that screwed you. Hoffa suckers!!!

          Here's how pathetic these guys are. This is the guy who got me fired and lied about it. Worked together with management.

          And yes, this is true! "He won't ever step foot in this building!" Ask about his domestic violence charge! Why did he have a gun to begin with?

          Karma people.

          Joe Allen is an asshoe by the way! Idiot!

          And by the way.... this is the Vote No that threw Joan Miller money who knew nothing about Vote No. Go back and read her Facebook posts. Dumb ass questions. Then went up to Boston to get on a booze cruise with Sean Obrien behind our backs. She was a drunk. Guess where your money went? lol FOOLS!!!!! She is the reason why they print instructions on shampoo bottles.
