I can put you in contact with the right Canadian president/representative from another Canada local, but he will look into it for you on my request. He is very good and will answer all of your questions.

It would be good to get rid of the IRB. Canada Teamsters does not have the IRB anymore and why should we? Canada Teamsters much better off without the IRB. Why sink money paid out to the IRB? That is dues paying members money that goes to them. We can handle our own affairs, what were not smart enough without the IRB?? TDU, get a clue.

Sorry about that. Moving the members ahead is what is important.

Sadjjjer, thank you, I appreciate your sincere comments.

I am still a strong woman, probably the strongest women you'd ever meet, and my friends remind me of that often. I don't want everyone to think I'm a weakling,etc. However, everyone has a breaking point, whether your a man or a woman. But Jim had a way of finding out people's strengths and weaknesses and used that against them. Not to make this all about me here. But he learned I lead a conserative personal lifestyle, he learned I played the piano since age 4, and that I enjoyed the opera and Frank Sinatra; Bobby Darin type music and classical music,etc in which that is why he posted the things he said with those song phrases to bother me. He knew, I held my father/S/T in high regard and had utmost respect for my father. He knew that even though my father had been passed away many years, that I keep his memory and integrity in my heart and that how I do lead my personal and professional lifestyle with integrity is important to me. That I would never lead my life in a negative way to ever tarnish my father's good name/reputation and memory within the Teamsters and to those that remember him and those that respected him and liked him-my father. He also used conversations to me about my father to try and get close to me. When he then requested things from me that he knew I would not provide or do, he then said he would ruin my reputation if I did not provide him with his requests. I didn't obey, and he then did drag my good reputation through the mud and it was an upset to me, because my father's repuation and memory does mean so much to me! And he knew that. Including to those that remembered my father in a positive way! Now, I'll forever be remembered as the S/T daughter that was somehow associated with the likes of Jim,etc. Whereas before, people use to walk up to me knowing me in my good work in the Teamsters and also regarding my father before me in a positive light. The memory of my father in the teamsters was all I had left, and Jim knew that and used that to hurt me. How low can you go? Jim can go very low. Would my father be proud of me now with some of the things I've said on t-net? Probably not. But would he want me to defend myself, and stand up for myself yes he would. Would he want me to stand up against Jim, yes he would. Would he want me to protect the union members,dam straight! So if it means I have to wear the scarlet letter, (my name dragged thru the mud) and accused of things I didn't do, we'll so be it. But I'll be dammed if I'm going to run and hide and crawl in a hole and hide,etc. The damage Jim did is done, I had two years of feeling sorry for myself, two years of feeling shock, two years of emmotional upset Jim caused and as my father would say to me if he were alive, buck up kid! Don't be thinned skinned. Jim is just lucky my father is not alive for his sake.

Jim had no reason to be against me in the politics arena, as back in 2009, I didn't know who might run against Hoffa? Canidates didn't come out until much later. I am CEO of my own EP business and I had just returned from overseas in 2009 when all of this 848 scandal came about. I wasn't a part of it, I only met with Jim twice briefly, (If I was a man in sex gender, no one would of thought anything of it) I had no knowledge of what was really going on that way,in 848 (until he revealed it to me) as I was not part of 848 office/EB staff,etc. I did IBT organizng and I had paid dues to 848, but I now wish I paid dues to some other Union local instead, as if I had paid dues to some other union local, my name would not even be on t-net! He also accused me of being FBI in which I am not. So I wouldn't be suprised if he tried to tell everyone that too.

I have preperations for a mediation for a client on Friday I now need to focus on. But there should be no reason Jim is still at 848 union meetings? He's done enough damage and he has no remorse and no shame and he has not yet even tried to reedem himself after all that he has done and you only know the half of it!
