[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 5541236, member: 60485"] Hoffa made plenty of mistakes. He ran this organization, more like a business than a labor union. Let organizing slip away from him, too many go along to get along contracts, Having said that we still somehow managed to have a pretty good living, standard great health insurance.. and possibly the biggest thing he did was give us over $300+ million strike fund war-chest. It gives us a lot more credibility in negotiations. 1997 the union was flat broke. Nothing in the strike find. Rumors of people being yelled at to shut lights off at the international building to save money lol. O’brian I feel will be a much better president, but he definitely was given the keys to something that was worthwhile. [/QUOTE]
