First they ignore you. Then they fight you. Then you win.
--Mohandas Gandhi.
Those words ring as true today as they did when they were first uttered decades ago. The four "Teamsters of the Apocalypse" first attempted to ignore this site, they found that they couldn't.
They then tried to laugh off our research uncovering their deep ties within the Teamsters. Of course, now they see we knew more than they thought we did.
And now, in a last gasp of desperation, they've taken to an anti-democratic tactic originated in places like China and Iran. In China, blog spot sites such as ours are banned or discouraged from being visited by goverment officials due to "reports" that readers have and will be stricken with computer viruses. They do this to keep the roots of democracy from spreading by controlling the information their citizens see to only what the government approves.
Borrowing from Communist China, the Teamster Four are now urging readers to avoid our site or suffer from a horrible "keystroke virus" which will permanently damage your computer and allow us access to all your personal and private information.
What the "Four Teamsters of the Apocalypse" won't talk about is their whereabouts before the UTU membership voted on the recent merger. They won't discuss Ed Michael's work to recruit UTU members into the Teamsters, they won't discuss their involvement in the 2006 Teamster Convention, not their years of work with other Teamster groups looking to bring the rail unions within the Teamster fold.
And good luck getting them to talk about the Teamster agreements like the MFA which seek to remove fright from the rails in order to preserve trucking jobs.
Maye it's too difficult a task, talking about the truth when there's no room for it on their agenda.
We as UTU members deserve to hear the truth. From every side. That's why this site emailed both Presidents Futhey and Sullivan and asked for direct information (submitted by site members) from original sources -- not rumors and innuendo that have been used to divide and distract us.
That is why we make every attempt to link all our material here to the original source --- rather than tell readers what they should be thinking as is done on the other site. We have too much respect for our readers' intelligence to do that - show people sources and they have the brains to make their own conclusions themselves.
Ww feel when presented with the facts, members will make up their own minds. That's why over 1,500 visitors have come to our site just this week. Because like us, our brothers and sisters want facts, not rumor mongering, character assasination, or childish threats.
We will continue to seek and tell the truth about the SMART merger.
It's our hope that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse make some attempt to their claim of promoting democratic trade unionism.
But we are not holding our breath for that.

What the four horsemen don't want members to read is the truth. The more infighting there is, the more distractions there are to keep us from their real agenda.
Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this site. We will be watching and reading your the posts we hope to get from you guys.
I heard a rumor that now the people on save our union took down their forums because they were threatened. What it really is is cover for them installing a tracking software on their site to see who's coming and going to their site.
