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)
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)
