There will be a second consecutive three ring circus at next June's Teamsters convention. That's because one of Hoffa's vice presidents has decided to run against Hoffa for Hoffa's job! And in the meantime, that man can't be fired by Hoffa because he was elected, not appointed. So he still attends General Executive Board meetings, with Hoffa and the rest of his buddies in the same room :)
Current IBT Vice President at Large Al Mixon will try to get the necessary 86 or so minimum amount of delegates to vote for him at the convention to get Al's name on the ballots later that year.

I am most certainly still a Teamsters United supporter. Al running doesn't hurt Teamsters United, but Al will take some delegates that Hoffa would have gotten, so maybe the decibel levels at the convention will be a tad lower.
We will know by the end of June if Al himself gets his name on the ballots for all Teamsters to vote on. I don't know if Al will have some fellow slate members by the convention. His website is pretty worthless. It has about the same amount of information that Hoffa's does—almost nothing.
