Collection material in English
Thirteen rank and file teamster members from the New York City area brought suit in
the Federal District Court to secure an injunction which would prevent the holding
of an election for president of the international, charging that the election of delegates
to the union's convention had been "rigged" to assure the election of James R. Hoffa.
This was the beginning of the litigation which resulted in over 40 cases reaching
the appellate courts. Hoffa was eventually elected, and a Board of Monitors appointed
to supervise the actions of the executive board. This memorandum attempts to explore
in as close chronological order as possible the appellate phase of the litigation
in an effort to gather in one integrated document the language of the appellate courts.
Mr Bergan's purpose was to dispel the charge of "litigous obstruction" which he believed
was irresponsible.
