Lindsay Dougherty VanityFair interview

[OT+]

[Thisischange?]

Teamster Boss is union busters vanacular WTF?

[percap2high]

Isn't she a first term officer in by appointment. I'm not aware of many accomplishments and I didn't learn about any in the interview. I mean its cool about the tatts and great that she steps on dicks and all but beyond knowing how to say F**k if I were a 399 member I'd be concerned.

[Jen743]

She 's not concerned about 399 she's moving up

[UPS909Strong]

The Teamsters bureaucracy is setting her up to crash and burn. When a person becomes bigger than the movement, it's "over Johnny". Being loud will only get you so far. Hoffa Sr. was as big as they get. Where is he now? There are a lot of good ole boys in the Teamsters that do not want to be upstaged by a woman. I wish her luck

I agree. She hasn’t even completed a full term and Sean is elevating her like she’s been around for 30 years. She needs to take care of her base, her members that vote for her and if she isn’t careful someone will try to run against her. All these articles that are boosting her ego making her bigger than what she really is are in deed hurting her. And yes the good ol’boys in this organization are not happy with where she is going. The dicks she’s stepping on are in her own IBT world.

Quick question .
Would you let her step on your dick ?

[CrossMeCrossYou]

Too goth and too thin for my liking. So that’s a big NO.

[Nickjamesups]

Just curious , if O’Brien said “ I step on their *****’s “ would he be treated like a hero in Vanity Fair ? Beware of false “ heroes “ created by the media !

Lindsay believes that being vulgar and profane somehow enhances her standing and makes herself more intimidating. But the reality is, the talk at my work place is that she is an embarrassment to our Union.

My feeling on that is that she has the female cop syndrome, where she needs to act tough and vulgar to try to prove herself in a man’s world. Deep inside she’s a scared little wimp who tries too hard to fit in but people are starting to see through all that. She’s the screen writers champ but Teamsters are getting savvy to her weaknesses.

[Faust]

Isn't her husband a white supremacist?

Well Faust, if you've ever seen the guy, I think you'd agree he sure works hard to look like one. She's started to keep him hidden in the background now that she's moving up.

[UPS909Strong]

I don't mind her 💩 talking. Teamsters talk tough. She needs to be perceived as a strong leader otherwise she will be run over by members and management. Really hope all the tough talk has substance because if it doesn't, members will see right through it

Yeah but from what i'm hearing and seeing on social media she's a little too extreme. She needs to chill and stop telling other unions that Teamsters don't cross pickets when she knows damn well Teamsters are currently working on shows that are still shooting. Then to top it off i'm hearing she is hiring 399 drivers at 62.00 an hour to shuttle the writers to shut down shows and putting 399 drivers out of work. Kinda confusing to me, she hires her drivers to put a lot of other drivers out of work!

[Faust]

This is the latest meme coming from pissed off Local 399 members.

[Guest]

They should be pissed. This whole media frenzy is just smoke and mirrors.
