WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 - Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa today criticized the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for a failed policy agenda that has hurt working families.
Members of the Teamsters Union today demonstrated their opposition to the Chamber's extreme positions on climate change, health care reform, financial re-regulation, and workers' rights. They joined members of other unions and progressive groups at a rally outside the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's convention in Philadelphia.
"The Chamber's support of tax cuts, deregulation, bad trade deals and corporate welfare has resulted in economic disaster," Hoffa said. "It's time for the Chamber to join the 21st century and help move America forward again."
Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.4 million hardworking men and women in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
