We'll fight like hell against trade deal---Hoffa
May 16, 2007 - Miscellaneous

The compromise trade deal between Congressional democrats and the Bush Administration "Does nothing to protect American jobs or help create more jobs at home. The race to the bottom will only continue," according to Teamster President Jim Hoffa sayss. Hoffa and Change to Win Chair Anna Burger blasted Congress for their compromise with president Bush on trade legislation. "This “deal” is NO DEAL for the Teamsters or American workers, and we will fight like hell to oppose this shortsighted agreement. Burger said, "Despite improvements in labor and environmental standards, workers remain at risk because the proposal fails to address how to protect U.S. jobs or create new ones. It undermines our prevailing wage and Buy America laws. And it hands foreign firms operating here more privileges over U.S. companies. For working America, that is not a deal."

He endorsed Bush* and got Teamsters to vote for Bush*. Teamsters in Houston Tx. built their new Teamsters Hall with scab labor because they said Union wages were too high. Fuck Hoffa and the Bush* he rode in on..
