Mr. Ken Wood, Acting Trustee of Local 2011 and Joint Council 75, James Shurling, Joint Council 75 and Trustee; Mike Stapleton, Joint Council 75 and Trustee; Mike Scott, Joint Council 75 and Trustee; Jim Gookins, Joint Council 75 and Trustee; Michael Filler, Trustee; Randy Brown, Joint Council 75; and Maurice Cobb, Joint Council 75
Dear Mr. Wood, Trustees, and Joint Council 75 members ,
We the undersigned members of Teamsters Local 2011 are joining together in solidarity. Our demand of you is quite simple. We want immediate free and fair elections for our entire Executive Board at Teamsters Local 2011.
When you and your organizers came to Florida 5 years ago we were promised an autonomous and freely elected local union representative of our membership. We the members have spoken loudly in the delegates election. We desire a change; we want democratic representation not the dictatorial failure that Mr. Hoffa has delivered over the last 53 months. You have violated the spirit and terms of a trusteeship. DOL suggests trusteeships should last 18 months except for provable extraordinary circumstances. The imposition of a 53-month trusteeship also violates us as dues paying members.
Therefore, we demand the following;
- AN IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM THE HOFFA IMPOSED TRUSTEESHIP.
- INDEPENDENT FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS THIS SUMMER.
- MR. BILL CURTIS APPOINTED AS THE INTERIM STATE WIDE COORDINATOR.
- OUR LOCAL UNION RUN BY CORRECTIONS AND PROBATION OFFICERS ONLY.
Mr. Cantrell, your appointed statewide coordinator has provided 3 years of ineffective leadership resulting in the PBA’s attempted return. The lack of both experience and knowledge surrounding corrections has resulted in a total failure during the Cantrell led era.
The next legislative session is approaching rapidly. Committee meetings commencing will begin this fall. BILL CURTIS has the experience, integrity, and commitment to restore officer’s faith in their union and tackle the necessary issues affecting our members. The time to act is now.

It's time for the 2011 to elect its own leaders besides we don't need less with les ,we need someone who actually understands Corrections and probation and will be there to help us Les Cantrell can't what are select our own people to the challenge
53 months is way to long to be under trusteeship. we were promised autonomy and it is time to stop dragging your feet and let us have our own election already
I stand with Kim Shultz and the members of Teamsters Local 2011- Bill Muse alone makes me want to vote ...
If we can't get membership favor back we will end up with PBA back. So stop the foolishness and give us our election!!!
It's time for change. It's time the teamsters do as promised when elected over PBA. It's time we had a union that works for us, not the union itself. I have given blood, sweat, and tears for this department. It's time we had a union that's ready and willing to do the same for us. 11 years without a raise is long enough!
Officers with the Florida Department of Corrections deserve better!!!!
Fair pay 4 us..

We need positive and effective change NOW! What is the point in paying dues to a Union that consistently fails you and brushes you off?
