Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa and General Secretary-Treasurer Ken Hall have begun new five-year terms on the union’s General Executive Board. The Hoffa-Hall slate won by a wide margin in November. The election results were certified earlier this year.

Hoffa first took office in March 1999 and won re-election in 2001 and 2006. Under his stewardship, the Teamsters Union has regained its place as the strongest labor union in North America.

“It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve the 1.4 million members of this great union,” Hoffa said. “We have accomplished so much as a union since 1999, but our work is not done. There are new attacks on working families every day and unions are the only ones standing up for people with no voice.”
