“Do you like the fact that we can vote for our Teamster president? Thank TDU. If it wasn’t for TDU, the Teamster President would still be chosen by the good ol’ boy system.

“The old guard says TDU is anti-union. Then I went to the TDU Convention. I never met so many hardcore pro-union people. We’re pro-union, pro-Teamster, and that’s why we’re fighting to make our union stronger.”

Jim Farese, YRC City Driver, Local 641, New Jersey.

“I like what TDU stands for. Hoffa keeps us in the dark. TDU gives us the facts and let’s us make up our own minds.

“We are the watchdogs of the Teamsters. That’s why I joined.”

Kamal Kaalund, UPS Inside Worker, Local 804, New York.

“TDU shows us that we’re the leaders that we need.

“Members have the power. That’s why I’m proud I joined TDU.”

Become a member of TDU. It’s just $40 a year. And it goes a long way to make our union stronger.
