Mid-Term Elections

The Teamsters Union elections are not the only important ballots members will be casting this fall. Mid-term elections will be held on November 7, 2006.

In the United States Senate, 33 of the 100 seats are being contested. The election for members in the House of Representatives is scheduled for the same day, as well as many state and local elections, including those for 36 state governors.

"Pensions, jobs, health care and every other issue affecting workers will be impacted in one way or another in the next few years," Hoffa said. "Our representatives in Congress and state and local government will have a huge say in these issues. I urge every member to find out from their local union who the Teamsters have endorsed in their area and help get those people elected."
