"Error" IBT admits Growth Numbers off by 202,000

[admin415]

Under pressure from the TeamsterLink Special Report of April 12, 2023 the IBT issued a statement indicating they will file a revised report with the US Department of Labor.

Good job Teamsterlink in catching this. It seems the oz PR machine would have been owning the lie and taking credit for the impossible increase, if you didn't expose it.

Unforced error. Additional damage to credibility caused by the IBT dragging its feet on this for weeks.

The ERROR in itself is not as big an issue as is O’Brien taking credit for an unsubstantiated report. His unabashed boasting and tough guy persona lends itself to taking credit for everything that makes him look bigger and better then his predecessor. We must admit that Hoffa left a pretty low bar to be surpassed.

Not going to disagree with you at all. His buckle your chinstrap mentality is going to bite us all in the ass.

An error. Let's think about this, the International has a big accounting department and a bunch of auditors, the GP and the GST have to review the number of members, wouldn't they know of any large organizing victories, wouldn't one of them have asked somebody where did all these new members come from?

All it took was three retired Teamsters from Teamsterlink to figure it out pretty quickly. Thanks guys.

Yeah this is too much, anyone with an ounce of experience would have known those totals made no sense. Who's minding the store? Is the communications dept (PR) in charge? "This sounds good lets just run with it" seems to be the attitude. What might be worse is all the cheerleaders who still ignore reality on this issue even though the IBT has admitted the error.

The General Secretary Treasurer Zuckerman and the General President O'Brien signed off on the LM-2. Didn't they feel the need to ask somebody where did 200,000 members come from? They had to know this was BS. We're supposed to believe nobody noticed the added income and work for a twenty percent increase in the size of the union.

The OZ auditors and investigators only look for and "find" errors when it involves someone they want to defame, destroy or eliminate from the Teamsters. When it makes O'Lyin look competent and good, they completely ignore the obvious. Anyone with any sense knows the membership DID NOT grow by 206,000 in one year (9 months if it were just under the OZ Administration). Especially when reading and hearing about some of these units winning their first contracts after 5 years of negotiations. Some fools will believe anything when they are desperate for someone to lead them.

How does an error like this happen? Who checks this stuff? Will there be explanation?

They'll try to ignore it, pretend it didn't happen. It's the kind of thing TDU used to report on, now they'll ignore it too, just like they ignore the Rail Contract, the Brownout the NDA's and now the myth of 206,000 new members.

Yes, it appears TDU sold out the original ideals of TDU. Everyone that was TDU now works for the IBT. They are all a bunch of yes men like the hofficers who they swore an oath to get out of office. Now they directly work for a guy who worked for hoffa and is pretty much the same bureaucrat.

If it wasn't for teamsterlink we never would have known about this. Thats the scary part.

We need a new watchdog. TDU is hoffa now.
