[QUOTE="barking dog, post: 209618, member: 10253"] Good point. Every election Hoffa relies on his outside consultants to run his campaign and get him re-elected. He does not use rank & file Teamsters in his campaign "inner circle". He uses non Teamster consultants and international employees that did not come out of the ranks. They don't have a clue what it is like at UPS and have never delivered a package in their life. They can not relate. One of these consultants is the owner of a communications company in Detroit, Michigan that has landed several lucrative Teamster contracts and he has worked his way into Hoffa's "inner circle". So most people would say so what's the big deal that is just how politics work. True. That is the basic principles of politics and people working in the political arena need to have principles and a moral code of conduct that enables them to represent the membership (not the company) without any conflict of interest issues hanging over them. I'll get to the point here. Hoffa's consultant and a UPS corporate manager have been reported to have a very chummy and personal relationship. That on the surface does not sound too bad. However, when you add to it that the UPS corporate manager is the UPS trustee on the Central States Pension Fund it starts to stink. What would a non Teamster consultant be doing talking with a company trustee from the central states pension in the first place? But to be talking with one of the UPS trustees when UPS is trying to get out of the pension fund?? That really stinks. This is a matter that should be fully investigated and if any impropriety is found charges should be filed. [/QUOTE]
