Hoffa joined Teamster pension activists at a press conference today to oppose the same pension cuts he helped push through Congress.

Rank-and-file pressure has forced Hoffa to say the right things about pension reform on Capitol Hill. Now it’s time for him to DO the right thing and stop the rush to pension cuts in the Teamsters own Central States Fund.

The Treasury Department is holding a critical hearing on Sept. 10 on the rules for Pension Funds that are trying to cut retiree benefits. TDU members and other Teamsters, retirees and spouses will be there to make their voices heard.
