Dinner at Mar-a Lago

Bad enough he even met with this douche bag, we paid the freight. This is embarrasing to any serious trade unionist.

[Nights]

Here we go again telling the rest of the labor movement we don't need or respect them. We got nothing from Trump but pro corporate policies and an NLRB staffed and operated by union busting attorneys the first time around. Exactly what is it we don't know about Trump? I know one thing about Biden he BAILED OUT TEAMSTER PENSIONS. This is well beyond embarrasing, we'll be a decade trying to repair this damage.

Damn Straight!

Where is the TDU? For those members who disregard pension, health benefits, their union, etc, in favor of mega, this is tantamount to an endorsement. At the fucking guys place for dinner??? Candidates are supposed to come to the Union, hat in hand, asking for an endorsement, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!! I guess being Bernie's friend wasn't lucrative enough and not up to O'Brien's self annotated status...

[The Direct Line]

By TDU thinking, union should not get involved in politics

Question: Why did O’Brian, most likely use our union dues money, travel to Mar-a-Largo to meet one of the most antiunion Presidents of the USA giving him thumbs up?

• Because he is use to kissing a ring?
• Another photo op?
• To beg Trump to call off Markwayne Mullin?
• SOB is secretly antiunion?
• UPS told him to?
• Pissed at Biden because he bailed out CSPF that prevented cuts to 350,000 Teamsters hard earned pensions?
• Supports Trump’s photo op at non-union Drake Enterprises when Biden was walking the UAW picket line?
• Wants lower taxes on Fred’s Zuckerman’s salary $607,038 (2022) and SOB’s salary + $420,671 (2022) = $1,027,709 (2022) Yes, 1 million-$27,709 dollars?
• OZ does not really care about us… (Video below)

[Mr. Teamster]

If someone doesn’t want to pay dues that is fine. You just cant work at UPS in states that aren’t right to work.

[Graveyard]

Dear "Mr. Teamster". I don't know you, so no disrespect intended. You state "If someone doesn’t want to pay dues that is fine". So, when I work next to someone doing the same job and they are enjoying the same pay and benefits but the don't support our union, your OK with that? Perhaps you should change your name to "Mr. Right to Work". Maybe you miss spoke? Maybe you are one of the reasons SOB is courting the antiunion president.

[Graveyard]

Also, maybe you should rewatch the video. The member was OK paying the $500 fee, just not in one pay check. Again, no disrespect intended.

This whole episode is just one more stupid move that will make life harder for us at the Local level. Unless your a big local with a big Treasury you need allies and pro-labor friends to get legislation past and represent your members against big corporations because often we have small to medium size units. A really dumb move that we'll be explaining for a long time.

Episode should be escapade, what a clown this fool turned out to be.

This is why I am so against labor laws. The union has a contract with UPS. The government and it's "laws" have no business interfering with ours.

I remember watching this video and my heart broke for this woman. If memory serves me correctly, there was a GoFundMe. The whole Vote No admonished O'Brien for this and now they support him. Crazy.
