Teamsters United from the U.S. to Canada

Of course, he won the election and will use this opportunity to cause division.

Employers play divide and conquer to keep workers from uniting and having more power. Some Hoffa-Hall officials play divide-and-conquer too. This weekend it was Teamsters Canada’s Francois Laporte’s turn when he tried to pit Canadian and U.S. Teamsters against each other.

Here’s what Zuckerman had to say: “Let’s get one thing out of the way: I don’t want to hear people blaming Canada for what happened. They are our Teamster brothers and sisters. They face the same problems we do—and we are going to fight for them and with them going forward.”

It was a principled and unity-building response after a small number of supporters lashed out on Facebook after their candidate won the vote in the U.S. but was denied the presidency of the International Union.

Hoffa-Hall campaign operatives were on the call and heard Fred’s clear message.

Six hour later, Hoffa-Hall running mate Francois Laporte of Teamsters Canada responded on Facebook: “TDU Comments Insult Canada.” Laporte accused TDU of calling Canadian Teamsters “ignorant” and denounced U.S. Teamsters who voted for Teamsters United as “stupid.”

Give them a little "jab" and they wet themselves over it? They live in a different land than we do I guess? No concessions?
