August 2, 2007: Thanks to a federal appeals court, an administration attempt to allow long-haul truck drivers to add an extra hour to their already long day has been overturned.
The court said the government provided insufficient evidence for lengthening the drivers' days from 10 to 11 hours.
An impartial union panel has ruled in favor of Teamsters in New York Local 804 who were stripped of their union membership in retaliation for their opposition to Hoffa. The decision reverses a miscarriage of justice and restores the good name of Tim Sylvester and Jim Reynolds.
The carhaul national master agreement expires on May 31, with no word yet from the International Union on plans, union demands, or even proposal meetings for membership input.
