Let's Get to the Bottom of Things

Anyone who thinks that Jim Eubanks and Ed Michael are working solely for the membership of the UTU need only take a look at this Teamster site.
Writing as Teamster activists, they both talk quite a bit about the UTU, rather than their own union.
They even acknowledge that the UTU is losing money. Of course, that's before they began posting their new financial figures that paint a much different picture from what they conveyed before.

Instead of respecting the wishes of the UTU members who voted in August, they have attempted to run over the wishes of UTU members with a convoy full of half-truths.

Of course, they seem to have had their own answer for Cleveland’s cash flow problems.

Their answer on how to bail out the UTU? It’s not hard to find, it’s even on Ed Michael’s own Teamsters blog - Put Teamster Power to Work on the Rails.

Yes, the very same union that joined with its’ freight haulers to prey on rail jobs is now looking to represent those of us who didn’t lose our jobs to the freight haulers. Even worst is that the ringleader of the plaintiffs’ lawsuit against the lawsuit happens to not only be a card carrying Teamster, but an open advocate of merging our union into the Teamsters.

One thing is clear. The plaintiff's are no different than a buch of Teamster hitmen out to tinker with the democratic voting rights of the UTU membership.

Each one of them MUST be called into account immediately. If Futhey refuses to do so, then questions must be asked about where his real loyalties lie.

Throw out every one of the four double headers. They are a cancer on our union.
