Hoffa says he may risk vote if Meany joins test
Hoffa told a Los Angeles audience he would risk his position in a union confidence vote if AFL CIO president George Meany would submit to the same test. He urged autonomy for the Teamsters and warned against losing their independence in a potential AFL-CIO merger. He also said the union is not pursuing a national police organizing drive but would represent officers who request affiliation with limits on the right to strike. Hoffa planned to travel to Tampa, Florida after the dinner.
