Dear Brothers and Sisters;
The Teamsters Candidates Forum was held at the National Press Club on August 25, 2016. Fred Zuckerman, candidate for IBT General President and Ken Hall, candidate for IBT General Secretary-Treasurer answered questions posed by a panel of journalists and submitted by Teamster members around the country. Members viewed the Forum Live on C-SPAN, and on the Teamsters web page and Facebook page. Copies of the Candidates Forum, in DVD format are available by request to any member, or group of members, for viewing or copying.
The Candidates Forum DVDs may be signed out at our office to any interested members and must be returned to the Local Union no later than three days after borrowing. The DVDs will be maintained and available at Local Union No. 464 at all times through November 14, 2016.
Alternatively, the Forum in its entirety can be viewed in the Candidate Videos section of www.ibtvote.org or on the Election Supervisor’s vimeo page, https://vimeo.com/oesibt. Links to separate question segments will be added to the IBT Officer Candidates Forum section of the Candidate Videos tab as soon as they are available. The C-SPAN recording of the forum is also available for viewing at https://www.c-span.org/video/?414344-1/teamsters-union-candidates-face-d....
