Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Language:
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.
