Challenge to a Quiet Boss By Tom Robbins, The Village Voice
Haynes insisted he has nothing to do with the group. "That's a rank-and-file group. I have no control over that," he said.
But the flying squad tactic began shortly after Haynes won the services of one of Teamster national president Jim Hoffa's top guns, international representative George Geller. Haynes said Geller was assigned to Local 237 to work as a research director on child care issues. But child care is hardly Geller's specialty. He served as Hoffa's election lawyer and campaign adviser, helping shape a strategy that brought down disgraced former Teamsters reform president Ron Carey.
A former follower of zany political extremist Lyndon LaRouche, Geller has long served as a consultant for members of the Teamster old-guard leadership trying to fight off incursions by dissidents.------------------------------------------- posted 6:18 AM :: reference link ::
