The same group that's banning people from their convention,so much for militancy and free expression.

This is the same tactic employed by TDU, they maintain their business plan by banning union members who might have a different idea on uniion power. Fake union reform......

Isn’t Paff on their board of directors?

No more principled than TDU. Stop wasting your money on these opportunist assholes.

This article is about the idea of open bargaining to activate members and keep them informed about whats happening during contract negotiations. It tells the stoy of one Teamster Local without ever mentioning the fact that at our largest union contract, UPS, has a complete information blackout because of the NDA's O'Brien makes every committeee member sign in order to participate in negotiations. What's happening at the Teamsters is exactly the opposite of what Labor Notes and TDU preach, but neither organization has the courage to speak up about it. If your a TDU member and you sit quietly by while this happens you're the problem.
