      It shows the mentality of who is running our union , with the exception of 5 or 6 every member of our GEB wore one on those red vests and acted just the way you see in that video. They certainly showed how to bring people together when they walked out in unison when anyone not wearing a red vest tried to speak .

        I’ll rephrase my question. This is a very divisive post, and I totally understand it. But how old is posting this right now I hope all of your brothers and sisters within the teamster union as a whole right this minute? I’m just trying to understand the mentality. I know you’re pissed off as am I.

            These people are still running our union,sitting on our panels, officers of locals, JC's, and the GEB. They have not changed instead of Hoffa 2.0 we got Hoffa squared on steriods. OZ rode in on the TDU trojan horse and reconsolidated the power, same people same shit. when people tell you who they are believe them. Dissent is a necessary part of a functioning democracy, those who try to quell it don't belive in it.BTW 60 year old beer gutted fat white guys posing as leaders, acting like children is not very unifying it's an embarrasingly bad look. Hope you were not part of it?

              Mostly all the Hoffa people are still in our Union. Only difference is Hoffa is gone. Sean O was always destined by Hoffa to take over. Both slates that ran were just different sides of the same coin.

                This is like saying “i know you are but what am i”? Have an actual coherent debate.

                    They are now the new reformists. Lol They are now rallying against their own actions.

                    BTW... How did Greg Kerwood vote in the 2016 election? He says that Hoffa was horrible but was an ardent Sean O'brien supporter. David Allen proclaimed him as a long time activist. For who? These people are so full of shit.

                      Mother Jones, there were no choices worthy of my vote.

                        Same here. A vote of no confidence from me. I was going to support the guy against Sean O'Brien but he spoke out against the vote no movement in which I help start.
