Re: Election Office Case No. P-662-LU299-MGN
Gentlemen:
James P. Hoffa, a candidate for general president, filed a protest pursuant to
Article XIV, Section 2(b) of the Rules for the 1995-1996 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election (“Rules”), alleging that supporters of his candidacy in Local Union 299, including a candidate on the Hoffa-No Dues Increase slate, have been denied the right to post pro-Hoffa campaign material on the bulletin board at Hertz Rent-A-Car at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. An opposing slate was permitted access. Mr. Hoffa now advises the Election Officer that the issue has been resolved and that he wishes to withdraw his protest. The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.
Any interested party not satisfied with this determination may request a hearing before the Election Appeals Master within one day of receipt of this letter. The parties are reminded that, absent extraordinary circumstances, no party may rely upon evidence that was not presented to the Office of the Election Officer in any such appeal. Requests for a hearing shall be made in writing and shall be served on:
