President Cardullo leads 200
Teamsters to the Governor's
doorstep to SAVE THE TURNPIKE
Back on June 19, 2008 the PA Conference of Teamsters flanked the Capitol to let the elected officials know we were strongly against the sale or lease of the Turnpike and that we would return to the Capitol in force if this issue arose again. Well, on April 29, 2008 over two hundred officers and agents from the affiliated Conference Locals, led by President Cardullo, converged on the State Capitol to, once again, let them know the Teamsters are against the sale or lease of the Turnpike and we mean business! 200 boisterous Teamsters marched right up to the Governor's office inside the Capitol. See additional photos from 4/29/08.
