Which Way for the Teamsters?

It's election time in Teamsterland. This month, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters will hold its fourth nationwide vote in ten years, sending mail ballots to nearly 1.4 million workers so they can directly elect top leaders of their union. The incumbent president James Hoffa, no friend of real Teamsters reform, may win the balloting that begins October 9. Standing in Hoffa's way, as usual, is TDU, the Detroit-based network of Teamsters dissidents and its candidate, Tom Leedham, a feisty local officer from Portland, Oregon, who won 39 percent of the vote in a three-way race in 1998.
