Why don't the IBT or locals start a layoff fund. They have a strike fund. If we all want to do something for the brother and sisters then we will have to do it ourselvs. It is a nice thought that Hoffa may think of us but most lickly he is drinking his coffee, reading his paper and watching his bank account. He will have to get a new tux for the ball. I wander who will pay for that.
