[QUOTE="scratch, post: 139776, member: 1674"] This was disgraceful as an election the way I see it. Out of 1.4 million members, only 164,636 voted according to early results. This was not much of a mandate on Hoffa's part, he only won his own Local 614 by a mere 26 votes. Hoffa spent $3 million to get 172,930 votes, Leedham only spent a tenth of that, $300,000, and got 91,706 votes. Leedham did well in areas with Pension problems, Hoffa did better in areas with stronger pensions. I am not a Hoffa fan, never voted for him because of the Hoffa name. The IBT has not grown under his leadership, if it weren't for three unions deciding to go Teamsters, it would have lost a lot more members. I am in Central States and have seen my Pension and Health Insurance Plans fall apart. I guess it won't be until the other Plans fail as mine has before people will wake up and figure out whats going on. And then it will be too late. [/QUOTE]
