In February 2016, the three-member Independent Review Board (IRB) charged Aloise, the most powerful Teamster official on the West Coast, with racketeering, taking gifts from employers, and negotiating a sham collective-bargaining agreement. One of the charges against Aloise includes accepting tickets (worth $9,600, to the Playboy Super Bowl party) from an employer who was negotiating with a Teamster local. It was noted by the IRB that Aloise’s official salaries and allowances in 2014 amounted to an eye-popping $346,722.
Aloise is one of James P. Hoffa’s close allies — Hoffa has been president of the Teamsters since 1998. He was selected that year in a special election after it was revealed that the 1996 balloting had been tainted by incumbent Ron Carey’s elaborate scheme to funnel $700,000 in outside money to his campaign.

I'm hearing there are numerous post election protests filed and that a new election is possible?
That's not going to happen. Trust me. It's in the books. Sorry though. Maybe next time.
Oh like every election? What could possibly be the reason for a new election. Oh that's right, your guy lost.
I'm sure you'll be on the TDU call tomorrow

No, from someone on the floor at the vote count.
...and no, they aren't a member of TDU.
Hard to imagine that there might be corruption in the IBT??? Lol
This has happened during every election.

I agree, but this time they got caught.
Cuz TDU said so? Lol
The next 3 elections are in the book as well.
Did the TRF donate to Z's campaigning?

What did they talk about on their conference call today?
No idea. Probably a bunch of crap and lies. "The only way we can continue our fight is through our donations."
I was told that Fred was nasty to Hoffa supporters on the call. In a way saying he was coming after us, he knows who we are. MFr I don't care. He knows who I am.

He promised 10,000 of the 15,000 members in his local would vote for him. He fell 7,500 short of his goal. He should be looking at the officers and agents in his local for not supporting him.
He sucks too.

4000 voted out of 15000. Sounds like a big difference, but look at the overall percentage of the election turnout. L89 had a good percentage turnout and they voted 3400-400 for Z. I'd say that is plenty of support.
Other big locals didn't come close to touching that.
The fact that over 48 percent voted against a 17 year incumbency speaks volumes. Particularly with 6 VPs winning and incumbent VPs losing the vote battle in their own locals.
Don't act like you have this massive mandate from the members. It was a close election, showing real issues.
We as a membership need to move our union forward and those in leadership need to lead, rather then push us backwards.
