The membership of Teamsters Local 631 overwhelmingly rejected John Phillipenas and his Empowerment Slate in balloting completed today. As expected, the Empowerment Slate received less than 33% of the ballots cast. Phillipenas finished in eighth place in the voting which is the lowest position of any incumbent Secretary-Treasurer in the history of Local 631 and the first time the principal officier failed to win election to the IBT Convention.
