We proudly support the O'Brien, Zuckerman slate


 The lines are being drawn. We believe OZ is the best choice for the future of our great Teamsters Union.

Hoffa sidelined the members and surrendered givebacks, and his hand-picked successors will do the same. We will mobilize working Teamsters in contract campaigns, fight givebacks, and use the strike weapon, when necessary, to win the wages, benefits and pensions that members deserve.

The likes of Hoffa throwbacks like Brian Aldes have to go. The Hoffa reign is over. It's time to restore power to the members.

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.

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.

Even Greta says Brian Aldes must go!


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.

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. 
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.

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.
