It is easy to say this but look at the economy since 2008...it has been terrible. Teamsters making waves with a mediocre but not terrible contract in place, against UPS, just looks bad when so many are unemployed. That is what hoffa/hall and every other politician are all about, of course-PR.
Yes the economy has been bad for some companies. Believe it or not many companies like GE a prime example have been making record profits but not pumping the money back into the economy by creating jobs. Many companies have been sitting back making huge profits and paying the CEO's and executives record bonuses while over working and under paying the blue collar woker. Teamsters and America needs to wake up and smell the coffee. This contract was bad for UPSers and it will get worst even though you have the CEO of UPS bragging to the stockholders about record profits and an increased growth rate on Upsers.com but my building cannot fill six vacant 22.3 jobs that have been vacant for eight years.

Yes Vote for Sandy Pope she will have Hoffa's slate , he's the problem time to cut off the head.
True, when we vote Sandy in we will be getting Hall and co also. But you are right, at least Hoffa will be gone. I will be happy just with that!!

Because she doesn't have a full slate. She could get enough votes for president and so could hall and the rest of his slate.
This was a strategy of hers because Sandy knew the problems are not with the executives but with Hoffa and the populartiy of hall with alot members would be hard to over come with a full slate.

Upstae, Sandy believes that the current people there are more than capable of doing the right thing. Her problem as well as many of ours is that the decisions made at the top handcuff the VP's etc. She is taking on only Hoffa as well as endorsing the others on his slate. This way she can gather votes from their supporters. Many people want their local leaders to saty in their position and would like to see the union get on the right track so she is hoping that this election will take days to count and hoping that people spilt their ballots in doing so.
Fred Gegare and Tom Keegle have both left the Hoffa camp because Hoffa is listening to hired outsiders rather than listening to Teamsters that were elected by us to represent us. Hall was great when he came here and backed us on our contract talks, he did a great job in 97, he fought and won the arbitration 22.3 issue when UPS failed to place and create those jobs. So something is going on in order to handcuff him from fighting this issue now. IMO

Take a moment and read your IBT Constitution about the powers of the General President. The GP needs the strength of the GEB to get most things accomplished. Gegare-Sheard 2011 has the Brothers and Sisters on their Slate to hold the company accountable at the grievance panels and bargaining table.
She knows who we are, watch Her nomination video.
