8 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND IF HOFFA JR IS RE-ELECTED TO GENERAL PRESIDENT:
1) Will Hoffa raise our dues again without a vote of membership?
2) Will Hoffa keep making promises & lying about accomplishments in the Teamster magazine?
3) Will Hoffa stop spending our drive money on politicians that he likes without even being a member of the drive himself?
4) Will Hoffa continue to pretend to be a powerful leader while the teamsters union is getting weaker and there's a 2nd class labor organization? Like a dog with a lot of bark and no bite.
5) Will Hoffa promise to quit before he takes another raise? Presently makes $383,000 per year and only pays $63 union dues.
6) Why isn't Hoffa's handpicked executive board more diversified?
7) Will Hoffa keep the same people in charge of the grievance board because they support him for re-election and he pays them to deny our grievances?
Will Hoffa do anything different than he's done in the past 12 years?

Will Bill Broburg ensure Local Union Members receive ballots in the mail for voting?
(Union Members did not receive for the last Local election and would like to have a choice in our leadership along with notification of who alternate candidates are)

I don't know.
2) Why wasn't Anthony Artiticio nominated for re-election as President of Joint Council #73?
If you are referring to the Teamsters convention, Joint Council officers seem to just decide among themselves who gets what position. That is not handled at the Teamsters convention. It is handled at the Joint Council.
3) Why did Hoffa / Hall guarantee Alexandra Pope enough delegate votes for President?
Not only did Hoffa and Hall not "guarantee" Sandy Pope got enough delegate votes to get her name on the ballots, they did everything they could to try to STOP her (and Fred Gegare) from getting enough delegate votes. Hoffa and Hall wanted to get re-elected right there at the convention, which would have happened if neither Pope nor Gegare had gotten at least 80 delegate votes.
Both Sandy and Fred had some delegates going in to the convention, but some delegates who were supposedly for Hoffa decided that in the privacy of the secret election voting booth, they wanted to help Sandy or Fred get on the ballots so that all members could vote to decide the election.
