You should receive a ballot from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters this week for the general election. I encourage you to vote, and to vote for the Fred Gegare slate. I was a delegate to the 2011 Teamsters Convention and fully support him and his entire slate.
My, our beef, is with Teamsters Local 320 not the International. Yes, we are in the process of decertifying 320, they won't have a local election for two years and we can't take another two years of their abuse. Give a gift to our brothers and sisters in the labor movement, vote in someone who wants to return the power of the Teamsters to the members. Hoffa needs to go!
By the way, thank you Teamsters local 320, because you "protested" the list of names provided to the Bureau of Mediation Services we will all still be able to vote in the Teamsters General election!

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.
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
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.
