Teamster GOP

Democratic senators perceived a revised national political alignment when Teamsters union leaders were surprisingly passive about imposing restrictions on Mexican trucks.

The Mexican truck question long has been high on the Teamster agenda. Consequently, Democrats were stunned when the union's leaders urged restraint on legislating the restrictions that were vigorously opposed by President Bush.

Teamsters President James P. Hoffa and construction union leaders collaborated with the Bush administration in successfully lobbying for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, a key Republican strategist, sees this labor-GOP cooperation as the first dent in the solid facade of the labor-Democrat coalition.
