[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7830138, member: 6804070"] The union. If you have any doubt about the Teamsters, look at their history, not the 'ancient' history of their founding (with the honorable and selfless Hoffa), but the more recent history where [B]twice [/B]they have had their "free and fair" elections thrown out by the US Supreme court due to corruption. Do you know how hard it is to get a case all the way to the federal Supreme Court and for them to even bother hearing it? And to have it happen twice? And if you think that type of.... way of dealing with people is just at the national level, it's not. It permeates the organization. The Teamsters are nothing but a bunch of blood sucking leeches that live off the hard work of others with a pretext that they are protecting the workers from the big bad evil boss. Sure, some unions are good, and they are not only formed to protect the workers, but actually do so. But, imo, the majority of them, after a decade or two, become nothing more than a way for a few people to 'tax' their members so they can live rich and powerful lives. I can and do stand up for myself. I don't need or what someone to charge me a membership fee so that they can represent me. I don't need it, and I don't want it. [/QUOTE]
