[QUOTE="twnjrspc, post: 135451, member: 6850"] Countdown on Teamster Future [I]November 9, 2006. [/I]The vote count for the International Union election will begin on Tuesday, November 14, when ballots will be tallied for Teamster General President and 28 other International Officers. The outcome will determine whether our union “stays the course” with Hoffa or moves in a new direction, with Tom L and rank and file power. As of November 9th, 280,000 ballots were received in Washington, about 20% of 1.4 million Teamsters. Hoffa has poured millions of dues dollars into get-out-the-vote advertising, but for the last eight years, Hoffa has kept members in the dark and done little to promote rank-and-file participation in our union. Turned off by weak contracts and benefit cuts, many Teamsters are alienated from our union. No wonder voter turnout is low. The votes will be counted by local union, and in regional order: first the East, then Central, South, West, and finally Teamsters Canada. TDU will keep members informed and will later publish the results for all Local Unions, as TDU has done for each election. TDU has worked hard to make sure Teamster members have a choice. Now we look toward the future, and invite you to join us. [URL="http://tdu.org"]Teamsters for a Democratic Union[/URL] [/QUOTE]
