No apologies for quitting Teamsters mob probe BY JOSH MARGOLIN, Newark Star Ledger
The son of the corrupt and legendary labor boss Jimmy Hoffa wanted Stier's help in ending 10 years of federal oversight aimed at wiping out mob influence in the Teamsters. Impressed by what Stier said was a 'sincere commitment to cleaning up the union,' he agreed.
But after five years working for the Teamsters, Stier and his 20-member team of investigators and lawyers quit en masse April 28 after concluding that Hoffa wasn't willing to back them up in rooting out what they say is continued mob influence.
For a time, Stier said in an interview last week at his law office in Skillman, Hoffa 'seemed focused on what needed to be done.' But after several years, he said, 'Hoffa abandoned it. He sort of veered off course. He couldn't take the pressure ... against our continued investigations.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:59 AM :: reference link ::
