Donnie Yates Brothers and Sisters
Politics have plagued this Union for far too long. We are not recognizing the fact that the quest for power is not the answer for our struggles against the MTA and elsewhere.
I am so sorry to say that I for my part have seen this all before. TWU international President attacks Local 100 president in the chief for mismanaging. Those of us that have been around long enough also saw when the international president Sonny Hall and Roger Toussaint had open fights in the Chief.
During the 2005 strike the international once again sided against the local and printed things in the Chief not popular with our local. Now the tables have turned and the people who controlled the local now influence the internationals political agenda against it's biggest local, is it politics or hypocrites? Or both?
