Democracy & Worker Power with IBT Vice President John Palmer

Did Palmer just call TDU a "lapdog"? Wasn't Palmer Ken Paffs "seat at the table? What up?

There have been many TDUer’s who have seen the light ! Paff has sacrificed true reform for true profit , Oz has filed his conventions and hired many of his steering committee members into IBT jobs . Many locals now are using TDU/TRF to do their communications , LM2’s will be interesting next year .

I heard they fired him from everything. He seems like he has an ax to grind. Does he have job in a local or does he just attend 4 meetings a year now to collect his check?

This is what happens when the Kool Aid wears off

TDU sucks and has always sucked.

Thank you John! Your video is amazing and way better than then both update a few days ago. Obliviously your thoughts are not the standard of most in the IBT Leadership! Unfortunately, the current “Leadership” is no different than the Hoffa administration, talk tough, settle short, declare victory. The only difference is TDU remains silent. I suppose we should be grateful because they allow us to participate in their decisions. Hey what would we know, we just do the job in work cloths not suits and ties. Your courage motivates me and many others. Thank you for supporting the true meaning of unionism!

I heard today that he ran in his local for president and lost twice. I wonder if he would have won would have he have excepted multiple salaries.

JT67 Palmer was collecting multiple salaries…

1.) GEB VP salary
2.) Deputy Director of Organizing salary

Palmer ran 2x at his local and got slaughtered… Willie Ford and Matthew Tabi the other two TDU guys don’t seem to have any problems.

I bet he hangs on 3 more years and keeps collecting those checks. I hear that he has four meetings a year. If he thinks these negotiations are so bad he has the authority as a IBT vp to be present at all of these negotiations and that would all be paid for by the ibt. It’s the same as Lindsay Dougherty showing up for all these photo opportunities.

Your right when I looked at the chart from the 200K Club above https://teamsterlink.org/GEBStatistics it showed all GEB members including Ford Taibi Perrone Palmer taking multiples. Only one GEB member came in at less than 150K in total salary, Palmer.
