Clinton Will Be a Strong Voice for Working Families

(WASHINGTON) – Today, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced its endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president. The Teamsters General Executive Board unanimously voted to endorse the former senator and secretary of state.

“We are proud to endorse Hillary Clinton for President of the United States,” said Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa. “She is the right candidate for the middle class and working men and women across the country. She will stand strong for the workers of America by fighting to reject job-killing trade deals, enforcing labor laws and working to provide retirement security for millions of people who have sacrificed so much for the chance to retire with dignity.

“The Oval Office needs to be occupied by a serious candidate who understands what it means to govern responsibly,” Hoffa said. “Donald Trump supports national right-to-work laws that are proven to weaken the middle class and has a long track record of shipping jobs out of the country as a businessman. He is no friend to working Americans.”

Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.4 million hardworking men and women throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. For more information, please visit www.teamster.org.

I doubt that the rank and file of the union will follow the endorsement and vote Hillary.

Union reps to me are the most vulgar talking, cynical
people I’ve ever been around. (Worked for a temp. agency
once and one of my assignments was at a union headquarters.)
Not the best experience.

Actually the reports I saw indicated that he was probably buried under the parking lot.Some years ago I remember driving past Giants Stadium on I-95 or the NJ Turnpike (can't recall which) and I think I recall having seen at least part of the parking lot.Obviously a stadium that big would require a huge lot.
