On the recordSeptember 4, 1997
I just say I would like to have it where we would have supervision, like in 1991. I don't think we have to give a $22 million gift to the Teamsters to have an election. It is a big union and a nice group of people. They ought to be able to elect their leaders, and we should not have to give them a $22 million gift in the process. We can do it like we did it in 1991.
