and that led much more to infiltration of the teamsters union and that kennedy did not expect.and trying to get it back and really it was the mob from 1975 that with the tools the government had given them in the sixties and seventies and to put massive resources on the hoffa case and to say my god we have labor racketeering it's much worse than we realize and this is the time to get together the resources and the tools to be fairly successfully and then jimmy hoffa were still in the street there would still be more mobsters on the street. finally the book, this is the hardest topic to summarize it is about fathers and sons and treachery and loyalty and forgiveness jimmy hoffa lost his father at seven years old and and hoffa really never had a father figure. and the senior mob leader of detroit and chucky lived in revered both men and then chucky was caught in that and to make matters worse he also killed his father essentially or had him killed. so basically it's about life changing views over the course of my life but he looked at 20 and how i looked at 20 in my perspective a

the teamsters have a seat on the task force and i really like hearing that. i want to set the temporal elements of this. two more meetings. the report will be created by calsta. they are the authors. it will include a review of safe trek ucit. that report will be issued in january. we hope it will have recommendations that the legislature can consider. i think it's hopeful that we had a change in administration and we have a governor who issued the executive directive to create the first safety master plan in san francisco. i'll just say we'll put our optimism there. the last thing i wanted to share with you is yesterday we learned that m.t.c. is moving forward to establish a zero vision task force and the development of a regional high-injury network. that shows how influential the work of san francisco and other cities are having on this movement. i think having the region, the n.p.o., that distributes funds will be critical to our work going forward. i'm happy to answer any questions. thank you for your time. >> thank you very much for all the work you're

i'm with teamsters joint council 7, representing over 100,000 teamsters and 1500 different industries, including 12,000 who live in the city and county of san francisco. and about myself, this was my 25th year as a laborer and a community organizer. and the teamster, as you know, are a transportation union. we know delivery so as such i'm applying for seat 11. i want to thank supervisor fewer for this legislation. we think this commission is really important. our union, including myself, was intimately involved in crafting the legislations regarding this emerging industry, both here in san francisco and in sacramento. and as you've heard along with the ufcw and the laborers, we're proud to be leading things on the labor side in san francisco. we're organizing here and around the state and the country, but unfortunately despite very strong regulations, most of the workers remain unorganized. i serve on numerous boards and commissions at the local and state level. most recently i was appointed by governor newsom to his commission on the future of work, which i'm very honored to serve on

my name is tony, president of teamsters local 665. i'm here to speak to item 47.the resolution urging the sfmta consider compliance with ab awarding permits. i want to thank supervisor yee for introducing it and all 11 supervisors for cosponsoring this resolution. along with my sister local teamsters, we represent thousands of workers for employers who have interests with the sfmta. these include shuttle bus drivers, parking lot attendants, circling marking meter workers and more. the key thing that ties them together, they're hired as direct employees of the company, not as independent contractors or temp workers. employees have the legal right to join in a union and collective bargaining. that was also the point of the other labor bills to prevent workers from being hired as perma temps, which is another thing we all need to watch out with the growth of companies like blue crew, that supervisor peskin mentioned earlier. that's why this resolution is important, because it says that the sfmta should be using its purchasing an permitting power to create good jobs.

>> 1976 i was a teamster in a cardboard box factory, i just gotten contact lenses back then they wereoard dust and contact lenses, they do not mix. as a teamster i made a heck of a lot of money. >> in early 90s, i worked at a bakery, fresh bread and pastry, wages were okay, boss of fine but i hated it it is, atos at,. >> i worked at guy that unloaded boxes of frozen flowers from the teamster truck to the flower shop from 12 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. during the week in college. it was a weird experience, it paid in cash. there was a movie. david: jimmy hoffa would be happy. >> two hours but worst job i had telemarketing, i was not made for it. >> what about you? >> a crappy job, i was cleaning seseptic tanks for a while, it s a summer job. it made us better people, if you don't like your job, move on, we have a good job marit for "bullu next time. elizabeth: vice president pence, playing bad cop in chinese, white house looks for a historic trade deal, possibly before christmastime. can he do it, or is this a ceasefire before an economic war that president trump promised high will win. we have

you will see teamsters and sheet metal workers and fine workers and -- mine workers and carpenters and iron workers and others and bakery and confection workers walking the halls of congress. retirees mostly who have earned this retirement but because of inaction in this body simply haven't had that retirement promise fulfilled. they are demanding that congress honor the dignity of their work and honor the promise of those pensions. this crisis in my state affects the mass of central states pension plan. united mine workers pension plan, ie won work -- iron workers local 17 plan, the bakers and confectionary pension plan and others. it touches every state in this country. we're talking about our entire multiemployer pension system. if it collapses it won't be just the retirees who feel the pain. current workers will be stuck paying into pensions they'll never receive. small businesses will be left drowning in pension ie lil by they cannot -- liability they cannot afford. it will have ripple effects across our economy. let's be clear f. we do nothing, madam president, this could trigger

who also requires a residency waiver and teamsters 856 has undergone through an extensive process to select a representative as well as being supported by the labor council. and for seat 11, mr. samuel carr who is already requires a residency waiver. and sciu has gone through an extensive process to select a representative as well as being supported by the labor council. and so, those are the nine people that i wish to move forward. and again, if this was not an easy choice. i work with every single person in here to get us to this point and i hope you do not feel snubs. we're all working together and there are people in this room that i know are excited about the work and i look forward to continuing to work everybody. that's my motion. >> and can i take that motion without objection, without an objection that motion passes. thank you so much. >> thank you, everybody. >> thank you. >> i would just like to repeat the seats just to be sure the motion is correct. christina gomez, seat 1. vannentina seat 2. i have joanna hernandez seat 5, lonnie homes seat 6. denise coleman seat 7. dani

and i was actually informed by a representative of the teamster's joint council 7 this morning, that at least two of the scooter companies that are anticipating permits in two weeks are using third-party basically temp agencies, like silicon valley startup blue crew to get around the obligation to hire employees with adequate compensation packages and benefits, even though these employees are technically w-2 classified employees. this labor model has been a problem for decades in the agricultural industry and in the food processing industry. and my belief is that by enabling this type of employment model, san francisco is on the verge of exacerbating a problem that has plagued the teamsteres and other labor organizations up and down the streets for decades. in my office's discussion with the mta the past few days, they have been thankfully receptive to the concerns. and so to that end, i am introducing a resolution today to urge the mta to respect workers' rights as well as to address some of the other issues that i have raised and i will distribute copies of that resolution to all o

you line up infantry machine on both sides of the road and with the teamster hacking their animals they start on flat land and within up the hill and as they faulter the infantry would grab the wheels and push and crank them up the hill. it takes two days to do that. one of the officers who saw many fights on many battles said that was the worse march of the war for us. this distance dry weather should be 15 to 20 miles -- 30 miles, excuse me. two to three days march. it takes four full details. what do you think their condition is? they are exhausted, blown. it is also day bragg decideses going to do something. sends a message to general polk on the 26th and comes to see him saying i have a plan. i want you to take the 15,000 and go through guys gap and turn right and fight your way up toward murfreesboro. do we know what is on the other side of those hills? you can take care of it. you will be fine. word man trap polk used to describe what bragg was proposing. he said this is nothing short of sending us into a man trap. and he's absolutely right. bragg gets back to his headquarters an
