    Indicted union boss re-elected in landslide By ROBERT HERGUTH, Chicago Sun-Times
    But it was clear over the weekend none of that mattered, as Fred Schreier was overwhelmingly re-elected to run the small but politically powerful group.

    It's a post he will have to relinquish if he's convicted -- although his son, Ed, as vice president, presumably would take over. The 350 or so card-carrying members of Machinery Movers, Riggers and Machinery Erectors Union Local 136, along with thousands of part-timers, help set up and dismantle trade shows at McCormick Place and Rosemont's convention center.
