As the website administrator, I want to thank those that we should be thanking. If it wasn't for these guys taking the bull by the horns, our union would have become the union that Paul Thompson outlined in his infamous circulated speech. It goes without saying that the Four Plaintiffs head this list. Tho... Read Full Post »

Enough with the "Teamsters thing " already, is that the best you can do for the Dwarfs?

This is addressed to the small number of surrogates writing letters in behalf of Brokenrail and the six confederate Vice- Presidents. I find it very interesting that each of you have some reason to condemn or question the motives of the Plaintiffs, the members filing charges and the Alternate Vice Presidents. In tally of what you Surrogates have written, we had Don Lindsey-- play the Teamsters card, several times now, Thompson must be proud of you Brother Lindsey. Do...

A Repost from our Forum followed by an anonymous Rebuttal

With all due respect, the Sheet Metal Workers probably have a lot more rights within our organization than anyone within yours.
