Teamsters Local 320 Delegates at the IBT Convention

Last March the Teamsters Local 320 members elected the Anyone But Hoffa slate of delegates to represent our local at the 2011 IBT Convention. The mandate was clear, we were to get other Candidates on the Ballot for the October IBT elections to unseat Jim Hoffa. We succeeded.

People said we couldn't beat the Sue Maren slate, but we did.

People said that Fred Gegare and Sandy Pope didn't have enough delegates to get on the October ballot, but with our help they did!

Hoffa's supporters are saying it's a waste of Union money to hold an election because Gegare or Pope can't win.

With your, the member's votes, we can get a new General President elected this fall. One that remembers the members are the union, not the hierarchy.

Watch these videos and smell the victory. When Hoffa's supporters saw that Fred Gergare had enough delegates to be on the ballot the Hoffa delegates walked out rather then listen to an opposing view.






Watch their immature behavior as they try to boo down Fred Gegare's nomination and Sandy Pope's. They didn't even want other candidates nominated.





Then watch Gegare and Pope's acceptance speeches and make up your minds. I support Fred Gegare, but each Teamster has one vote, use it wisely and let's get some change.





In solidarity,
Wade Laszlo
