If this was Wall Street, these guys would be promoted to CEO and CFO. On Wall Street when you fail, you always fail up.

Financial irregularities with the Mpls Teamsters union? You don't say. I couldn't have guessed it. But you keep giving these crooks your dues boys. They are looking out for your best interest.

Good thing they are union so they will have someone to stand up for them and defend them against these trumped up charges. Oh, wait.

Thirty years ago a before I worked there some employees at a company decided to organize they went on strike for one month and came back having gone from $6.00 an hour to $9.00 They currently make $23.00 an hour Their counter parts in other cities make about $14.00 They are in local 120 . the cost of the service they provide is exactly the same at all locations nation wide but at this place the workers get their share .

Did you actually take the time to read the article? The investigation was being led by the Teamster's International. And do you think that this never happens in the corporate world? Ever heard of Tom Petters? Bernie Madoff? Enron? The former CEO of the Peregrine Financial Group just plead guilty to a $200 million fraud.

watergate, Yep. Heard of those people, but you know who I haven't heard about? Jon Corzine. Your thoughts?
