Mob stigma again haunts Teamsters By Richard A. Ryan, Detroit News
Edwin H. Stier, a highly respected former federal and state prosecutor who fought the mob passionately in New Jersey, and his team of investigators resigned last week as the union’s internal ethical watchdog, claiming that Teamsters President James P. Hoffa “is no longer committed” to cleaning up the union.
The accusations of being soft on organized crime could revive a public image of the old Teamsters under Hoffa’s father, the legendary James R. Hoffa, of a corrupt union dominated by the mob. The union agreed to government supervision in 1989 to settle a federal racketeering suit that charged the Teamsters had made a “devil’s pact” with organized crime.
Teamsters Call on U.S. Senate to Protect Overtime Rights PR Newswire
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters today called for the passage of an amendment being offered by Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) that would protect working Americans from the Bush Administrations attempt to scale back the right to overtime pay.
The amendment would guarantee that workers eligible for overtime under current rules do not lose their overtime rights as a result of new regulations released by the Department of Labor this April.------------------------------------------- posted 6:37 AM :: reference link ::
