But what I was alluding to.. is why have the Teamster been so silent?

Yes.. I agree.. Hoffa has no choice.. (like the rest of us).. he must vote for either one of the two parties. (and no, I don't mean Ron Paul)

But big labor has been silent.. no one talks for the working people? The Teamsters have a chance to speak out.. and they are not.

I drive a truck.. and every day.. they push us harder.. work us to death.. and pay less. And there is no dialog.. not in the blogs.. not in the news... nowhere...

It's business as usual. The 1% get rich.. the workers get older and more tired.
