Kickbacks to union local's boss alleged By L.M. SIXEL, Houston Chronicle
Shannon Fagan told the Independent Review Board investigating allegations of corruption at the Houston area's largest Teamsters local that in February 2001 she received an $830 monthly raise.
But Chuck Crawley, then the union's president, instructed her to return half to him in cash, she said.
Crawley said he needed to raise $75,000 for Jimmy Hoffa, the Teamsters' general president, and he hoped the money would encourage Hoffa to give him the powerful position when it became available, Fagan said.------------------------------------------- posted 7:11 AM :: reference link ::
