Teamsters approve on-line Ballots

Good news fellow Teamsters. Covid has made it difficult to do many things, but Union voting shouldn't be one of them.

From TDU,

Today the Election Supervisor for the IBT election approved a system for candidates and slates to obtain Accreditation Petition Signatures on-line. The on-line system is not yet operative, but is expected to be operational with the next several days.

As soon as that system is in place, TDU will post exactly how any member can sign a slate petition electronically, and how you can pass along that information to fellow Teamsters. 

The Election Supervisor announced this addition to the Election Rules in response to COVID-19’s impact on person-to-person contact.

The Teamster-to-Teamster petitioning by O’Brien Zuckerman Teamsters United volunteers continues at full-speed across North America.

Ask Teamsters 320 Brian Aldes why Skoog? Why now?

We all need to ask Aldes why he has almost completely turned over to Erik Skoog, who left Local 120 under a cloud of misuse of union resources, the decision-making at Teamsters Local 320. It appears that Skoog is consolidating power against Aldes, who is just too obtuse to figure that out. Apparently the rest of the executive board is just standing aside letting it happen.

Teamsters 320 Brian Aldes, more money, less time for us

Brian Aldes has announced his addition to the Vairma 2021 Slate to replace Hoffa. Steve Vairma is Secretary Treasurer of Denver Local 455, President of Joint Council 3 and Western Region International Vice President. A Hoffa crony vying for Hoffa's spot.

As many of us know Brian is already hard to find, like when our computer system was down for days and he was partying up at Cragun's. He has so little time for members that 11 groups, yes, 11 recently decertified Teamsters 320.

If he's that short on time with his Secretary-Treasurer job and his spot on Joint Council 32 how will he find time for us and a grueling National Campaign?

Brian your first duty is to the members who pay your multiple salaries! Or is that the real plan? To follow your friend the cheating Ken Hall in exploiting even more loop holes for even more stacked salaries?

Steve Vairma, if you want to have a fighting chance of winning, we recommend cutting the anchor known as Brian Aldes loose. He will only weigh you down.
