Teamsters United one step closer

**ABFwife** · 09-13-2016, 09:37 AM

I am rather stunned at the lack of discussion on this site during this election. Sure wasn't that way last time around.

As of July 1, the challengers for Teamster leadership are officially nominated. Now their supporters are out seeking votes among the union’s 1.3 million members.

Ballots will be mailed October 6 and counted November 14. The result will depend on how many hours volunteers spend leafleting at workplace gates—and how many phone numbers and email addresses they collect.

“As long as we get out the vote, we have an extremely good chance of winning,” said Brooke Reeves, a hospital secretary and Local 251 steward in Rhode Island. “People from Hoffa-Hall [the incumbents] don’t come out to talk to you. They send a robo-call.

“We go face to face. That’s where you get a member’s vote.”

I'm not entirely sure how much information is allowed to be posted on this site, but I'm pretty well acquainted with 1 candidate, and have met at least 3 others, on the Teamsters United slate. Anyone have any questions about who/what I know, or my general impressions of them?
