Talk:Teamsters for a Democratic Union

NPOV, Citations and Clean-up

I don't know where to begin with the lack of citations. But first of all, every quote should have a source, to begin with, and all citations should be listed in a "Notes" and "References" section. Second, facts should have citations.

The article is replete with non-neutral statements. The use of the term "our union" is just one offense (one I tried to correct). The statements in the article may be true (for example, an official was found by a court to have violated his or her fiduciary duty to a pension fund), but this can be better phrased than "the thief stole the pension money!" (sic).

Finally, much of the terminology, phrasing, noun-verb agreement, verb tense, etc., should be cleaned up. Sections need to be added. The article is out of chronological order in places. There is an overall tightening needed.

I am a big supporter of TDU, but no one is doing TDU any justice by leaving this article poorly written. - Tim1965 20:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Agree, this needs to be cleaned up. The jabs at Hoffa in particular need citation. Also, I grew up in a Teamsters family and I thought one of TDU's issues was to more align the IBT with the Democratic Party like other unions? No reference to that here... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.72.215.225 (talk) 18:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Copyvio

The bulk of this page (from this edit [1]) is a copyvio straight from the TDU website[2]. It's been a couple months, but I'm tempted to still cut the whole thing out and start over, rather than trying to clean it up.--Bookandcoffee 04:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I've belatedly removed the huge amount of copypasted material (see Wayback archive of some of it from 2004, predating the article). Nick Number (talk) 17:15, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Would like a better logo if possible --Tgmod (talk) 01:59, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
