TO:     ALL OF OUR TEAMSTER BROTHERS & SISTERS

FROM:     GARY M. TIBONI, PRESIDENT & ALBERT R. MIXON, INTERNATIONAL VP

Senate Bill 5/Issue 2 has been defeated! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication while standing up for hard working families and stopping Senate Bill 5/Issue 2 by going to the polls and showing Governor Kasich overwhelmingly this was not acceptable.  The fight is not over. We must stay united against these attacks on the middle class! Once again it proves when we work together there is nothing we can not accomplish.

On August 24, 2011, President of Teamsters Local 436 and Teamsters Joint Council No. 41, Gary M. Tiboni, held a press conference to oppose the privatization of the Ohio Turnpike.
