Teamsters want DOT secretary canned over Mexican truck pilot

One of the most influential labor organizations in the U.S., the Teamsters Union, is now targeting Transportation Secretary Mary Peters’ job.

The union recently launched a nationwide campaign to fire Peters for “unlawfully opening the border to unsafe trucks from Mexico.”

“It’s a disgrace that Mary Peters is still in office,” said Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa. “She has broken the law and defied the will of the American people by exposing them to dangerous trucks from Mexico.”"*
