    Union local ousts longtime leader By JOSEPH SZCZESNY
    Members of Teamsters Local 299 have ousted their top officer in an election that uncovered a deep vein of dissatisfaction with the incumbent leadership.

    Local 299, one of the most storied inside the Teamsters, was the home local of Jimmy Hoffa Sr., father of current Teamsters President James P. Hoffa Jr. It remains one of the largest freight and carhaul locals in the Teamsters, but its membership has been in decline in recent years.

    James P. Hoffa, president of the Teamsters union, also said he expects Gephardt to garner the AFL-CIO's coveted endorsement, despite the labor federation's decision to delay an endorsement until December.
