International Vice President Rome Aloise has been hit with 122 pages of corruption charges, including racketeering, negotiating a sham labor contract and soliciting gifts from employers. Hoffa has not stepped away from Aloise whose facebook page brags that Hoffa and Hall have his back.
CHECK THE FACTS: Independent Review Board report on Charges on Rome Aloise, February 10, 2016
TDU members have organized for decades to completely end the Two-Thirds Rule and increase rank-and-file power in contract negotiations. This week, those changes will become a reality, thanks to united action by the O’Brien-Zuckerman Teamsters United coalition.
The Constitution Committee voted today to recommend that the IBT Convention vote to eliminate the Two-Thirds Rule, require rank-and-file members on all contract negotiating committees, and ban the International from imposing contract supplements and riders that are rejected by the members.
The IBT Convention starts this coming Tuesday, June 22, and the fight is on to win major changes to our Teamster Constitution.
