700 accuses me of trying to fire the iam 8 years ago. Truthfully, thus far the iam has sucked so there wasnt anything profane about that. Cripes, 63% of our own mx signed ibt cards.
What is really funny is that the iam hired me and paid me plenty even though i was a member in bad standing. So the iam didnt have any problem with my reputation.
Neither did each usairways hub that endorsed me last year.
700 and several others hate me, thats all.
Hey, im the baby face and i love my life. Ya either luv me or hate me. Either way i got the job done and didnt pimp the members dime like 700 and most of the officers.

[background=rgb(252, 252, 252)]After six months of investigation and three months of appeals, court-appointed election overseers have ordered Teamster President James Hoffa to acknowledge that he attempted to buy election support by offering jobs and pensions. -
Teamsters can attempt to buy my election support by offering jobs and pensions in the next contract vote [/background]
Travis, those are isolated incidents by local lodge, not the International President.
How is it mud slinging when the court appointed overseer found out the truth about Hoffa?
That makes Hoffa and Carey tried to buy elections and Carey was banned by the Department of Labor from ever running the IBT again.
I can pull up the same about local teamsters too, shall I?

no matter what union there is always the good the bad and the ugly
IBT Corruption From the Top down:
Dave Beck President, 1952-1957: Veck was prosecuted for embezzlement and labor racketeering in 1959 in Washington state. He was convicted for pocketing $1,900 from the sale of a union-owned Cadillac. Beck was convicted later that year on federal charges of income-tax evasion.
James Hoffa, President, 1957-1971: Hoffa became involved with organized crime from the early years of his Teamsters work, and this connection continued until his disappearance in 1975. He was convicted of jury tampering, attempted bribery, and fraud in 1964. Hoffa was imprisoned in 1967, and sentenced to 13 years.
Frank Fitzsimmons, President, 1971-1981: Fitzsimmons was investigated in 1976 for failing to perform his fiduciary duties as trustee of the Teamsters' Central States Pension Fund and forced to resign from the board of trustees in 1977. Fitzsimmons testified in public and private regarding loans the pension fund made to certain mob-related businesses and the fund's operations.
Roy Lee Williams, President, 1981-1983: After a two-month trial during which extensive wiretapping evidence was heard, Williams and four others were convicted on December 15, 1982 for conspiring to bribe Nevada Senator Howard Cannon. He He was sentenced to 55 years in prison on March 31, 1983.

His re-election was overturned, Carey was disqualified from running for Teamsters president again, and he was subsequently expelled from the union for life.
James L Hoffa, President, 1998-present: Major issues with widespread corruption within the IBT. And just ordered to explain his bribery attempts to win the current re-election to IBT President.
