Support 320 Members 1st endorses O'Brien and Zuckerman

The best way to support 320 members first is to end corruption at the top!
That's why we are endorsing the O'Brien and Zuckerman Slate!

O’Brien leads Teamsters Local 25 in Boston and Zuckerman leads Teamsters Local 89 in Louisville Kentucky.  O’Brien and Zuckerman pledged to build on the momentum that Teamsters United created in 2016.  During that election cycle, Teamsters United nearly unseated Hoffa.  Hoffa lost the U.S. vote and squeaked out a 6,024-vote win among the 1.2 million Teamsters.  More than 70 percent of the 240,000 Teamsters at UPS voted against Hoffa.

Corrupt Brian Aldes wins

From Bob Kolstad:

We gave it a good fight and our union is better for it. Unfortunately, we came in second place. We will contemplate things for a few days and decide where we go from here. A few things are certain. We will continue to fight for Working Teamsters. We will continue not to accept corruption in our union. We will continue to challenge mediocre union officials. We will continue fight for that better future we know can be had. Thanks to everyone who helped with our campaign! With much love to our Working Teamster Sisters and Brothers: Solidarity!

Get those ballots in the mail!

It's a sad fact not many people vote in these elections. That means every vote can make a BIG difference! 

Time is really short. Let's get those ballots into the mail TODAY. Vote for the entire Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate for a better stronger union!!

Happy Thanksgiving from Bob Kolstad Slate supporters

The Bob Kolstad Slate supporters wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

The Bob Kolstad Slate

Amateur, Incompetent Brian Aldes

Ask Aldes why he just can't seem to get a handle on how to carefully read contract language. He's wasted the hard earned money of Working Teamsters trying to "fix" what he screwed up. Working Teamsters are outraged. Over 200K per year and Working Teamsters are losing tens of thousands of dollars of their dues money because he just can't get it right.

We've also noticed that Brian's slate is paying for boosted ads on Facebook. Can anyone tell us if he paid for those or if he's using his 320 credit card?

Ask Brian Aldes why he wanted to give up right to strike

Most of us have the right. Aldes wanted us to give it up. Just one more reason he needs to go. #AskAldes

FULL STORY

Angie Craig is Pro Brian Aldes! Pro John Coli, pro corruption!

U.S. Representative Angie Craig has endorsed crooked Teamster 320 Brian Aldes!

Angie, many Teamster 320 members are already upset our money is going to politicians who do nothing for Labor.

It's very disconcerting to see an elected Congresswoman taking sides in an internal Union election.

Angie, by supporting Brian Aldes, you are supporting stacked salaries, member paid junkets and criminal associations like John Coli!  All we can think is, "Birds of a feather flock together!"

By the way you are posing for a picture with a known Communist Jason Rabinowitz. Good call.

Bad move Angie, you should support all Union members, not just some.

This will cost you votes. 

Ballots mailed. Vote Kolstad Slate!

Bob Kolstad will fight for ALL Teamsters

Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate promises to fight for all Working Teamsters. We will unite Working Teamsters to fight for each other. Working Teamsters will know when workers in other bargaining units are involved in a workplace struggle and we will make sure that no bargaining unit stands alone and separate from their sister and brother Working Teamsters. We will work together to create a better stronger union and a better future for our families. We are proud to have won the support of Working Teamster Jessen Alexander!!

Brian Aldes supports cheating Ken Hall

TDU is reporting that,

 Ken Hall cashed in on a loophole to take home over $400,000 in Teamster salaries, allowances, and pensions.  FULL STORY

Brian Aldes learned from 'the best' and stacks his salaries in a similar manner. 

Brian receives his salary as Secretary-Treasurer.
A salary from Joint Council 32,
A salary from Teamsters International
For a grand total of $269,800!

But wait there's more!
100% paid healthcare
100% paid vision
100% paid dental-in addition to the trips he gets from Delta Dental for making you buy their plan.

But wait, Teamsters 320 (you the member) also pays both sides of his 401K.

The Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate will clean house of all these salary cheaters. 

That's right Brian, Gus Froemke and Erik Skoog.

Members First, not users.

Teamsters 320 Brian Aldes corrupt Minion, Erik Skoog

Why would a man with a higher paying job with Teamsters local 120 leave that position and take a major pay cut to work for Brian Aldes at Teamsters 320?

Would it be that he was caught using union money to have members paint his house?

Then the bigger question. Why would Brian Aldes want such a man on Teamster 320's payroll? How much of our dues is going to personal projects?

We are committed to restoring the members' trust in the Teamsters Union. We will do that by having zero tolerance for corruption. Zero. Tolerance. For. Corruption.

Bob Kolstad will unite all of 320's members!

Aldes and his number one minion (that guy who runs his campaign) think that public defense lawyers are amateurs and unable to fight for workers. They've based their whole campaign on that idea. No wonder Aldes and his crew haven't gotten public defense workers parity; they apparently have not the slightest amount of respect for public defense workers. At least everyone knows now what the current Local 320 officials really think about public defenders.

Of course, we hold the opposite view. We know that public defense workers are bold fighters for their clients, are highly skilled, and are generally very capable competent people.

REMINDER: NOV. 14TH BALLOTS GO OUT!

Mark the Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate and return the ballot!

An unreturned Ballot is a vote for more of the same.

11 groups left Teamsters 320 under Brian Aldes in 1 year!!

The first thing anyone trained in First Aid will say to do to an injured patient is stop the bleeding!

I perused the Bureau of Mediation Services website under elections results to see how many groups have decertified our Union in the last year.

Eleven! Eleven groups decertified under Brian Aldes watch!

While Brian is taking a $269,000 a year salary and taking junkets on the member's dime to Craguns our local is hemorrhaging members.

I encourage our members not to flee, but to fight. The Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate will work for you, not ourselves.

We will end stacked multiple salaries and member paid junkets.

Stop the bleeding.

Vote the The Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate for change.

Brian Aldes at Cragun's Resort

Cragun's Resort

Well, well, well, while we were locked out of access to our contracts,
with the Teamster 320 website down, Brian Aldes and his cronies, the BA's and Union Officers, were spending our Dues Money at Cragun's Resort on Gull Lake!

This was confirmed!!! Typical Brian Aldes, doesn't let member needs get in the way of a good member paid junket!

This is everything wrong with the Brian Aldes Unity Slate.

Brian Aldes is wrong on excessive salary.

Brian Aldes is wrong on junkets like Cragun's Resort.

Brian Aldes is wrong on closed door negotiations

Brian Aldes is wrong on locking out members from the 320 website.

Support Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate and end the corruption!

Brian Aldes Teamsters 320 runs silent and deep!

Brian Aldes IT Guy

Seriously Brian, it's October 16th the Teamsters 320 website with all of our contracts has been down nearly 2 weeks.

Members can't access the site. Stewards can't access the site to file grievances because they can't read the contracts.

You're the goddamn Teamsters and you can't get your website up? Maybe pay an IT person? Maybe with your excessive salaries you can't afford to?

No business would survive if their website was down more than a day. But we're locked into contracts with mandatory dues taken out, even if we are receiving no service.

Hell you're not even answering the phones! We call and get no father than the receptionist! The BA's won't even return calls.

Maybe you're all on another junket with our dues and don't even know the computers are down.

No wonder you have opposition.

Take this to the bank, even if you manage to hang on through the E Board election, we will come for you at the National!

Brian Aldes, Teamsters 320 has ZERO lawyers on staff

Teamsters Local 320 has ZERO lawyers on staff or on the executive board. We intend to change that. Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate have proven they can win in court, win political battles, and win in the street. Working Teamsters win with Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate.

Furthermore Teamsters website teamsterslocal320.org has been down for days.
All contracts are on-line. Members and Stewards cannot even read their contracts!

This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated with the Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate.

Teamsters 320 Brian Aldes' Recording Secretary angers a City!

Only a member of Teamsters 320 Brian Aldes team could anger the entire city of Tower!

Teamster 320 Erik Skoog

The Timberjay Newspaper is reporting that Teamster 320 Recording-Secretary Erik Skoog has angered Tower Minnesota.

Some excerpts include:

...The council has already had experience with Mr. Skoog, and it hasn’t reflected well on him or the Teamsters union he represents....

...Mr. Skoog has made false accusations and used profanity and other abusive language toward the council. He accused the mayor of leaking information from a closed meeting when, in fact, it was Mr. Skoog who inadvertently leaked the information by shooting his mouth off publicly without thinking.

Mr. Skoog and the clerk-treasurer might like to think they run the city of Tower, but that’s not how it’s supposed to work. 

FULL STORY

Tired of Brian Aldes so called Unity Slate costing us members?

Vote for the Bob Kolstad Teamsters United Slate instead!

Erratic Brian Aldes

Aldes now claims he doesn't support merit pay but he wanted Public Defense workers to accept it in the past and he recently helped Hennepin County bosses sell it to Working Teamsters. Merit pay is anti-union and those who promote it are anti-worker. Period.

#AskAldes #WorkingTeamstersDeserveBetter

Teamsters 320 Boss Brian Aldes excessive salary!

Teamster Boss Brian Aldes must be very important! 

He draws 3 Teamster salaries.

One from Teamster 320, one from Joint Council 32 and one from Teamsters International for a grand total of $269,800 a year!  That's a lot of dues! (*Source Gov forms 990 filed by 320 and LM2 filed by International)

The difference between Brian Aldes salary and the average dues paying member is as great as the difference between  CEO pay and employee pay of a major corporation!

By comparison MN Gov. Tim Walz annual salary 

is only $120,303!

Besides the salary, the 320 Secretary - Treasurer position comes with other perks:

100% paid healthcare. (How much do you pay a month?)

100% Vision

100% Dental

Plus multiple junkets at member expense!

More to come on Brian Aldes and the others of Teamsters 320 current leadership.

We need to end multiple salaries, excessive perks, member paid junkets and all corruption.
