Hoffa critic elected to succeed him as Teamster president
www.cnn.com
Sean O'Brien will be the next president of the 1.4-million member Teamsters union, succeeding James Hoffa, the son of the union's most famous leader who has led the union for 23 years.

Big win for the biggest union in America. After years of limp dick diplomacy that allowed the bosses to start making lives more miserable for all affiliated teamster branches the teamsters strike back by electing a guy that's not just willing to say he's going to organize mass strikes but is willing to do it if the bosses don't bend over for the workers.

It's gonna be delicious watching not just Amazon quaking in their boots with their impending war to unionize them, but also all the other already unionized corps like UPS, the airlines, trucker corps, etc. Having to cope with giving back more to the workers

Election results

Sean O'Brien: total votes: 115573

Steve Vairma: total votes: 57983

The Hoffa endorsed candidate Vairma got crushed up and down the ballot you love to see it folks.

      First part dunno, doesn't seem like it. second part he got voted in on the promise to bring stability back to the union which i guess is true if you consider agreeing to shittier contracts with the boss to not rock the boat bringing stability

      The federal government just let the oversight expire this year I think. They were under heavy scrutiny for like 50 years.

      TDU will likely bring that back, but for a different reason.
