[QUOTE="area43, post: 222611, member: 4862"] I would like to address the Hoffa vote again. Lets break it down, I could be wrong on some aspects so please fell free to correct me. Ok, here it goes. I believe the retirees get too vote in the Teamsters presidential elections, If thats the case I believe the majority would have voted with Hoffa. Thats a sizeable chunk of votes. Those retirees will strongly vote with the incumbent, their check is still coming in and they are more resistant to change. Voting their pocket book and folks, those retirees will vote. High turn out(mail in balloting). The next majority chunk of votes to hoffa, comes from the active working members that have stable or well off retirement funds-the west, and the northeast down to Virgina. Again, they are voting their pocket book,perhaps and dont see a need for a change. Then there is the CS active working members group that could very well had ledman in the (maybe small) lead over hoffa(Im not sure on the total,my assumption). Remember Folks Im not talking about the CS retired members here. Twin, do you get where Im coming from. My guess is that the number of active working members in the CS plan voted against Hoffa, but it really didn't matter. On a national level they were totally out numbered. [/QUOTE]
