Thumbs up Hoffa Testifies before Senate Panel

HOFFA TESTIFIES BEFORE SENATE PANEL, URGES STOP TO MEXICAN BORDER OPENING

Hoffa Raises Serious Concerns about Public Safety, National Security

(Washington, D.C.) – International Brotherhood of Teamsters General
President James P. Hoffa testified today before the U.S. Senate
Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development to
voice the union's opposition to the Bush administration's recent
decision to allow unsafe Mexican trucks to operate throughout the
United States.

Going back a little in time....

Hoffa Blasts Bush Plan to Open Border to Unsafe Mexican Trucks
Calls for Congressional Hearings, Prevent Repeat of Dubai Ports
Debacle

February 23, 2007

(Washington, D.C.) – The Bush administration is expected to announce
today it intends to open the U.S. border to unsafe Mexican trucks in
the next six to eight weeks for a one-year experimental pilot
program. The border has remained closed, except for transfers within
a 20-mile commercial zone, since the implementation of the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) because of the Mexican
government's failure to meet the truck safety and driver training
requirements of NAFTA.

Yahoo! Groups

And more can be found here International Brotherhood of Teamsters including video of Hoffa testifying before the senate panel, a video of him debating a pro-opening reporter from the Wall Street Journal, and a video from Lou Dobbs. Check them all out. Personally I can only say kudos to Hoffa and kudos to Lou Dobbs, and kudos to everyone that has sent letters to their senators and representatives. To everyone else, hop on the band wagon before it's too late.

I'm curious if this "thing" goes through will there be some way to find out which companies, hauling to where and when employ Mexican Trucks?
