            A few years ago TDU completely changed direction, the old watchdog is now blind to anything off the OZ script. Having lost all credibility as an independent organization they produce videos like the above to try to show TDU is still relevent. They could have shown relevance at UPS but chose to take the money and shill for OZ instead. Their treatment of Teamsters Mobilize makes it clear how the leadership feels about democracy.

              The government with assistance from tdu got their owned candidates in office. Now they can slowly but surely take away all autonomy from the locals and JCs, and completely gut the Union. Basically the 2nd string version of the SEIU.

                They lost credibility when they went to Fred zuckerman to help lead the charge for vote no. Fred voted yes on that contract at the 2 man committee and then came out and saw a movement that he could use. TDU backstabbed all those members (TDU members) that were fighting Fred Zuckerman years prior when zuckerman was a Hoffa goon trying to be a vice president at all cost. The backstabbing started long before bringing O'brien aboard.

                  Both the OZ boys were Hoffa "goons" and your certainly right about Fred willing to do anything to get on the Hoffa ticket. They must have known he was all about himself, in 2022 he took home a tidy sum of $620,000 from dues money. He could give a flying f*ck for the average teamster. Paff sold out to this character, too bad these young activists have no sense of the history.

                    Does anyone even think Paff cares about how history will remember him ? I think the people he betrayed will remember him for what he was , someone who traded everything for a seat at the table .

                      I saw the sister pictured on the video above have to stand on a chair at the teamster convention back in 2016 to protect herself from the red vested Hoffa/Hall/O’Brien supporters! I think she is from 177 in New Jersey. How many of those people she was trying to get away from are now Oz TDUer’s ?

                          When I went to Trenton to hand out vote no literature, and got assaulted by their business agents, there was a woman that waited till the agents turned their backs to give me a thumbs up. That's how most people act towards their members. Let's not forget that the original founder of the vote no page was threatened with his job if he continued on with that Facebook group. It's aggravates me to no end that the same people I stood in solidarity with to fight these goons have turned their back on me and sided with them. Shame on TDU and shame on these cowards for sucking up to O'Brien.!

                            The greatest disappointment was Rob Atkinson who was fired thanx to O'Brien. He forgot all about it after they gave him a job.
