Hoffa-Hall slate members are tied to at least nine other pension funds that are in Critical Status, Endangered or are considered by the IRS to be failed funds headed for insolvency.
When Hoffa ran for office, he promised a 25 & Out pension for every Teamster. Instead, he has delivered the worst pension crisis in Teamster history. More than 400,000 Teamsters in the Central States alone are threatened with losing their pensions. Central States is projected to go broke in a decade.
But Hoffa is not alone in whistling while Teamster pensions burn.
A review of Teamster pension plans reveals nine other funds that are in jeopardy—each one tied to a Hoffa-Hall slate member. These plans have more than 125,000 participants.

Hoffa-Hall have launched political attacks against good local officers over issues in their benefit funds—but they never own up to their own record.
Hoffa-Hall have given up on Teamster pensions—and left the battle for retirement security to Teamster retirees to fight on their own.
Fred Zuckerman and Teamsters United will put the power of our International Union to work fighting to defend Teamster pensions.
