“Our union has benefited from the experience and leadership of Rome Aloise and Brad Slawson Sr. for  decades,” Hoffa said. “They have been outstanding Teamster leaders, excelling in every position they have held at both the local and national levels. Their insight and expertise make them excellent additions to our General Executive Board.”
