Hoffa helps rally union behind Kerry for president By Thomas Olson, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
James P. Hoffa spat out the answer before the question was finished.
'John Kerry. Absolutely,' said the general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Thursday. 'It will be a close election, but he'll win.'
Hoffa spoke to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review at the Wyndam Pittsburgh Airport Hotel, Coraopolis, before addressing a meeting of Teamsters Joint Council 40, which represents the western half of Pennsylvania.
The Teamsters leader also predicted the presumptive Democratic nominee would carry Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Teamsters endorsed Kerry, despite his support of the North American Free Trade Agreement and other free-trade initiatives that the union abhors. But Hoffa said Kerry scored 95 percent on Teamsters' labor issues, such as a minimum wage hike.
Supreme Court Fails Working Families, Sets Path for Border to Open to Unsafe Trucks Source: International Brotherhood of Teamsters
"By allowing the Bush Administration to move forward with its plan to open the border, this decision represents a setback for all who advocate for safe roads, clean air, and a secure America," said Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa. "The Administration's ongoing push to open the border not only demonstrates a gross disregard for highway safety and the environment -- it belies the President's continued disregard for the health and welfare of Latino families living in the border region."------------------------------------------- posted 6:45 AM :: reference link ::
