Twice in some cases.The apathy was enhanced by the way it was forced upon many members.Look at the last election if you don't believe or agree with this. Hoffa barely escaped being voted OUT. There's many members as angry with the IBT (and some local officials) as they are with the company.That's what is destroying the strength of the "union" and the thing that truly makes us stick together is the pressure from the company.That's one of the biggest reasons why the strike line held in 97.We're just looking for a strong leader....similar to the one that was just let go from his position...and I don't mean Rome.</blockquote>
