I am furious. The word is out that the Teamsters have donated to the RNC in the amount of $45,000. I myself being a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, (BLET) is affiliated with the Teamsters. That means a large portion of my BLET dues end up with the Teamsters.
Bottom line is for me, I do not want any of my dues money heading to the fascist Republican Party. Part of the history of the fascists in Germany is that union leaders ended up in concentration camps. Hyperbole you think? I won’t take that chance.
I already made the phone call to them. plus the email. Next will be a protest via snail mail. I am cancelling my donation to the BLET PAC also. And yes, I am letting all my brothers and sisters know so they to can give the Teamster leadership hell.
