How many teamsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Here's a more relevant question: What's the difference between Splinters and the Teamsters?

Answer: About $90K a month. Any well informed NJA pilot can confirm that, but don't ask an 1108 elected leader because IBT rules forbid them to talk about something many in the group think they'd like to see...

Really I was just tellin' a joke. I'm a proud 1108 Teamster and I thought it was funny. You should hear me tell it. I got it down so it's funny!

Nomore, I don't doubt that you were telling a joke. It just bothers me is that the Teamsters organization is so often the butt of jokes. Don't you find that somewhat embarrassing?

I'm very proud of 1108's accomplishments, but I attribute that to the pilots in the Local--only. I realize that the pilot group isn't an in-house union, but I've always thought of them that way and I'd like them to get the credit their record deserves-- not the disparaging remarks that usually follow the name Teamsters.

That's because they should stick to driving trucks and stay out of the aviation business.

Agreed. IBT knows nothing about aircraft.

Bogart, I'm normally not a selfish person at all; however, I freely admit that I'm not concerned for the IBT. I only care because their reputation reflects poorly--and unfairly--on 1108. That said, I do have sympathy for any other Locals who share this problem. It's frustrating to see such hard-working, dedicated volunteers not get the credit they deserve because their record is overshadowed by the notoriety of a group they are loosely tied to. The situation is getting very old....

Nomore, please feel free to tell me a different joke...
