Abstract

Teamsters' New Boss?
Rose, Richard | March 23, 1957 issue

add to cart   close window

Power is what Teamsters' leader Harold J. Gibbons respects. Power is ambiguous, Gibbons. Power can serve personal ends or broad ideals and it can work in straight or devious ways, or both, so can Gibbons. Morality finishes a confused second place to power in the scale of values of this Saint Louis, Missouri labor chief. With Teamsters morality and Teamsters power filling the national headlines, Gibbons is a man to watch. As chief lieutenant of Jimmy Hoffa, who was arrested last week by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation charged with attempting to bribe a U.S. Senate staff aide, Gibbons is in line for the leadership of the 1,400,000-member union, as soon as Dave Beck steps out.
