Organizing

[bOZo]

I wanted to be a organizer as long as I can remember. My uncle was a teamster organizer in 50's. I called my PO what was needed to apply. sent my resume in and I have never heard back. I met some organizers that came to my local and became friends with some. My dream is better left as a dream from what i have heard. How can the organization that I love continue to do the things it said it wouldn't do on the campaign trail? To many the department is hiring it's friends for sure only promoting them {asskissers} I could've swore during the campaign the OZ said they would hire from within but that's a lie. From the conversations I've overheard in my local ttese new people should not be in the positions they are.

my friend want me to say this. How can you tell people about a code of conduct when you're own department doesnt even hold its management to the same standard?

maybe they should talk to there steward? The same organization that wants people to form there union as teamsters don't have union organizers? If the teamsters don't want me, plenty of other unions do.

There should be an inquiry into the organizing department, they first by passed Palmer ( a thirty year organizer) then later fired him , there have been many organizers hired/fired/quit and many charges leveled , sexual harassment, DWI’s, political discrimination. But I guess they are doing a good job , remember O’Brien said the 206,000 new members ( NOT!! ) was just the beginning .
Next years LM2’s will show the true story .

Maybe it's time for the organizers to organize. After all they pay dues, but are not entiitled to representation. The majority of other unions including the AFL-CIO have staff unions. The entire building in DC is represented. Why not respect these organizers?

Organize the organizers, its been done (attempted) before. bOZo, ask your friend why is this different?

Here's the 411 from someone who is an Organizer on the inside. It's not what you know, it's who you know. It's all nepotism and back door dealing. The Teamsters do not want to empower their Members. If they do, then there's the threat that the person that they trained will run against them and take their job.

Also, it's ironic that Organizers and Business Agent's from most Locals are at will employees who pay Union dues. They have no representation and can be fired on a whim

Does your local hold organizer trainings? Have you volunteered or active at your local? You just can't tell your principle officer you want to be a organizer if he doesn't even know who you are.

1) no, because it costs too much. (His answer)
2) yes i volunteered. My po is an idiot. He doesn't believe in house calling. Hey says drop cards and the win will happen.
3) he knows who I am.

4) Did you pass the DNA test? You can't expect to get hired if you can't even say who your related to.

There's a DNA test? I only take court ordered ones. I didn't realize this is a nepotism organization. Now that I know that....see ya.

Keep pushing! You’re going to give up that easy? Maybe you’re not organizing material. What’s going to happen when you’re knocking on someone’s door and he slams it shut because he’s scared to talk to you? Give up? Or go at him in another way?

[bOZo]

I just got my 23 & me results back. I'm screwed. I'm not related to anyone so I guess I'll stay here forever. My friend told me if I have nothing to offer the regional organizer coordinator wouldn't call me.
