GCIU Leaves Teamsters

[OT+]

Why do we know nothing about this?

Based on the number of views the reason we don't know about this is nobody cares. Next years union membership on the LM-2 will reflect a loss of 20k+.

And that doesn’t even count Yellow that will be gone.

Subtract another 22,000 from YRC.

I heard we added 206,000. Was someone lying?

Keep hearing different stories about who or why this whole disaffiliation started. One story says the GCC was paying no per-capita at all, so Zuckerman sent them a letter dissolving the affiliation agreement. Another story says OZ informed the GCC leadership they were being dissolved and the members folded into existing Teamster Locals, a practice that has been going on for some time.

It would be helpful to get an accurate report since we appear to losing more than 20k members. Considering how much $ we spend to organize and win contracts for that many members, this is a very big deal.

Bottom line is the Teamsters got weaker by 20,000 members. That is not something that e can afford. Those were our brothers and sister for 19 years. I almost don’t want to hear the real story. It might make people sick to their stomach.

I agree JT67, and next we are going to lose Yellow Freight. Sean's buying off Local's by his doling out Multiple salaries...

Sean is a member of a hoffa regime. He’s just more like James Riddle Hoffa than JR hoffa.
