Comments on: Kalispell Trucker Files Federal Charges Against Teamsters Union
Let’s be civil. The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail editor [at] flatheadbeacon.com. The views expressed in the comments section do not reflect those of the Beacon.

I hope you win Mr. Weller!!!! The union is nothing more than an outdated beaurocracy that tries to bully its members and companies both. Is this why Canadian lumber is so popular? Paying union lobbyists in D.C. costs hard working Montanans their jobs and money!!!

I support you a 100% Mr. Weller. My father was a Truck Driver also for 40 years and you didn’t work if you weren’t a member of the Teamster’s. I work for the City where it’s the same situation you either have to become a union member of AFSCME or pay Ceaser what is due Ceaser in order to work. I also agree with Union Free Worker’s statement that the union is nothing more than a outdated beauroracy which tries to bully its memebership in to submission by thinking that the only way they will ever get a liveable wage is by letting them be their voice.
