Election Over, Hoffa Takes Aim at Your Right to Vote | Teamsters for a Democratic Union
"Hoffa doesn’t want members interfering with his succession plans. By eliminating Teamster democracy, Hoffa would ensure that his successor would never have to face a membership vote. That’s the safe bet—because Hoffa’s popularity is on the decline."
This is a piece from the article's author (imagination). So TDU now knows what Hoffa's plans for succession are, and he's worried about his successors ability to win a rank and file election. If he's the bum TDU makes him out to be, why would he give a rats patoot about his successor? He received 59% of a three way race and TDU is claiming he's losing popularity. When did Ken P last stand for election as head of TDU and allow all Teamsters the right to vote? TDU needs to get their poop together if they want to keep their ever decreasing slice of followers. I appreciate a watchdog, but their efforts are counterproductive to say the least. Hoffa won, convincingly, now get over it and work together.
Well, he got 40,000 less votes than last time. With only 20 % of the membership voting and he received 60% of that,what does that give him: the support of a whopping 11% of the membership!!! I think it is because of him that we get such a low turnout. Most members must feel, he has such a big and famous name, why even bother to vote. Maybe when he is gone one day (Jan 1st would be nice) we can inject some life into this union of ours and move forward instead of spinning our wheels!!
