[tyrhermod]

You are our hero sandy :D

[tsharpmac420]

Could someone plz explain how intimidation isnt the reason to pass EFCA

[texas9085]

Well let me see I did my job the same way when Yellow was making money and alots of it biggest pfofits ever. I still do it the same way now,so I guess its not because of me and other workers, that this company is in financial trouble.So lets go to the root of the problem.Badd management and piss poor decsions in the excutive levels.But who pays, the workers.How profound.

[texas9085]

I dont remember Goldman-Saxes or AIG belonging to the teamsters. Someone needs to find the real reason for the failure to this economy.Its not the unions its GREED on the stockholders and CEOs.You cant blame the people that get their hands dirty.Croney Capitilism is the way of the future in this country.The wackoo Neo-Con agenda has become the way the wackjobs think is the way we need to go.Sorry the Hannitys and the Gleen Beck supporters are the LOONS

[stoneydude37]

As a 3rd gen Teamster myself, I'm ashamed what the Teamsters and unions have become. Pope is no different than Hoffa JR. Another liberal anti-capitalist loon.

I'd rather have a 401K then this stupid pension. The EFCA(CARD CHECK) is just plain wrong, and will do more damage to the union movement then help it.

[YourWarmingUp60]

@stoneydude37 3rd generation Teamster huh? I can tell you right now you would not sit down to eat Thanksgiving dinner in this Teamster house with BULL SHIT talk like that. You want a 401(k)? Quit your Teamster job and go work non union. We have card check in the law now but the employer chooses if we go to election or not with the EFCA the workers deciede if it goes to election. You make yourself sound stupid. You are a disgrace to real Teamsters.

[DOWNRANGE06]

I support you but the lie about illegals do the work americans don't want to do is a lie if illeagals are TEAMSTERS?!!! YES NO??

[tom666araya]

No more hoffa Vote for the Pope!

[drsmooth0]

@tom666araya That's right no more Hoffa Jr. bribes, givebacks and sellouts. My vote is with Sandy Pope

[tyrhermod]

@drsmooth0 Go sandy pope! cant wait to get that bastard out and put sandy in :D

[dacutting]

@perry1691 yes i do expect someone representing our union to dress professionally , not like she just came from the beach, thats just common sense. we need someone to take on Hoffa and get him out!

[dacutting]

tank top, mini skirt, and sandles. for a tv interview? really, is that what we want as a new pres. of the IBT? she shows no common sense. we need someone that can beat Hoffa!

[perry1691]

@dacutting Sandy is exactly what we need. Did you want her in a $3000 suit? Give me a break, I'm a part-timer at UPS Hoffa spend more on some suits then I make in one month! Sandy knows hard times and she's a hard worker with a great record. I cannot wait to vote for her.

[akitabull]

@perry1691 I'm with you. It means she's not after our money. She was a truck driver. She has worked for a living. Hoffa was a daddy's boy and spent our money on those suits,on being a mobster. I'm over on the west coast and we got sold out!

[drsmooth0]

@akitabull the locals recruting thug gangsters for hire look @ the local 63 nominations. you'll see

[drsmooth0]

@perry1691 DUMP HOFFA 2011

[shipoffools2]

Hopefully Sandy becomes the next President of the IBT.

[pseudmaged]

Very interesting points about immigration. There's an implication that divisions among working people only serve the interests of management. Also, how cool is it that the prez of the Teamsters is a woman? Also also: Sandy Pope's tattoo is awesome.
