General President Hoffa desevres a tribute and specail recoginition for his leadreship. He had promised 25 & out and then conceeded the union pension to UPS. He had promissed no dues increase and then pushed thru the biggest dues hike in the histroy of the union. He promised to restore pride and untity and then created the biggest divide in organizied labor histroy with the change to win. He has filled the internatioanl building with non Teamsters and consultnants after rpomising to hire Teamsters. He contines to stand by and watch the politcians take on the UAW and teachers unions while still giving politcial money to the same politicans that gutted the EFCA. Hoffa should be recoginized for the job he and his non Teamster consultanants are doing.

with the international nealry broke and laying off why would Hoffa and his campaign be makning a no show job offer to a sitting executive baord membre so he would give up his executive board position in the next elelction? It goes like this, give up your executvie board seat so we can fil it with someone else and you will be appointded as a internatioanl repersentative with the same pay and benefits. Any board memebre thinkning of that should remembre Ralph Taurone and the way he got screwed by Hoffa and Thompson in the last election camapign. At least the IRB is interveiwing one vice presidnent over the multiple charges that have been filed over this.

Looks like the waerhouse direcotr John Williams still can not get a meeting with Hoffa to pitch his case to be on Hoffas slate. He gave up his local union and then cut a deal for the joint copuncil position. He could not deliver the vote for Hoffa in the past and can not do it now. Hearing that they like the local 174 officer becuase he has UPS memebtrs and jsut won his elelction by a 3 to 1 margin. Sounds like he can deliver the vote. Keegle reported to be condisering retiring and jsut getting out. Ken Hall to get the generals secretary position becuase they feel he can deleiver the UPS national vote. So much for prevoius promises to Rome. Todd has got to be in his twisted glory these days afetr the executiev board told HOffa to dump him and now he is trying to dump as many of them as he can. The next year will be intersting and fun to watch. In the end just rememeber to vote for ANYONE BUT HOFFA.

talk of the town is that Hoffa has competiton for next yaers election coming from the centla region. One can only hope so it would be funny to watch some the very peopel that Hoffa, Deaner and Thompson have scerwed over get together and run against him. Maybe they could hire RL Communictaions too. Interesting to hear and watch it play out.

Just herad that Keegle caved in and signed the Hoffa 2011 slate pledge form this week while at the baord meetnig. What this means is that Fred Gregare should pull his neck in now becuase noone is their behind him now. Any other union officers that were lining up behnid Kegel should also pull their necks in too because the campaing is about to begin. So much for standing up for the membres.
