Are Hall's Days Numbered?
Hall has not publicly resigned as President of Local 175, but rumors are swirling that he is on his way out as the head of the Package Division and the IBT’s lead negotiator at UPS and UPS Freight.
Hall is reportedly lobbying for Local 25’s Sean O’Brien to take his place and negotiate the next UPS contract, with Hoffa less than warm to the idea.
The reports are unconfirmed, but you can see the logic. UPS and UPS Freight Teamsters overwhelmingly backed Fred Zuckerman and Teamsters United over Hoffa-Hall in the election.
That embarrassment follows the 2013 contract debacle. UPS Freight Teamsters rejected their contract outright. UPS Teamsters rejected 18 contract supplements, covering 63 percent of UPSers.
Hall led the contract negotiations with O’Brien in charge of the supplement negotiations. Neither Hoffa nor UPS management can have much confidence in their ability to get a contract through this time.
UPS and UPS Freight Teamsters don’t want Ken Hall negotiating our next contract—and we don’t want him as our General Secretary-Treasurer either.
