Abstract

Can Carey Reform the Teamsters?
Dobbs, Frank | February 15, 1993 issue

add to cart   close window

A year ago, on February 1, 1993 Ron Carey was sworn in as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in an professor Andrew Jackson-style "people's inaugural." The tension between the two has defined the Carey administration's first year. Gone are the jets and limos that symbolized the lavish life style of past inhabitants of the Marble Palace. Carey has cut scores of double and triple-dipping Teamster officials from the head-quarters payroll. It has also joined community-labor coalitions pressing the Democrats from the left to reject the North American Free Trade Agreement and to create a single-payer national health insurance system.
