The Election Appeals Master issued a ruling today denying members a rerun of the International Union election. Judge Kathleen Roberts declined to overrule the Election Supervisor, saying he could only be overturned for “abuse of discretion” and that the appeal did not meet this high standard.

The Teamster Election Supervisor ruled today that the Hoffa administration did not violate the Election Rules when it stonewalled corruption investigations. Teamsters who are demanding a rerun of the 2016 International Union election will now take their case to Judge Kathleen Roberts.

[Reprinted from Teamsters United] Our movement made history yesterday when six Teamsters United leaders were inaugurated as International Union Vice Presidents at the Teamsters Unity Conference.

We didn’t form Teamsters United just to win a union election.

Members who aren’t in lockstep with Hoffa finally have a voice in our International Union leadership.

The Hoffa-Hall administration spent millions in dues money to delay corruption investigations. In a new ruling, the Election Appeals Master has sent this issue back to the Election Supervisor for further investigation. 

[Reprinted from Teamsters United] Six Teamsters United leaders will be officially sworn in as International Union Vice Presidents on March 20. 

[Reprinted from Teamsters United] Teamsters United will appeal the decision today by Election Supervisor Richard Mark to deny members a rerun. Fred Zuckerman vowed to continue organizing members for change.

A court order has finally ended a year-long corruption cover-up by Hoffa-Hall. It’s time for the Election Supervisor to order a rerun election and give Teamster members the fair and informed vote they were denied last November.

On December 27 Judge Loretta Preska ordered the Hoffa administration to turn over more than 32,000 documents because “they are necessary for the IIO to carry out its investigation of high-ranking IBT officials.”
