Abstract

The Teamsters' longest haul
Early, Steve | July 29, 1996 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on Jimmy Hoffa, the famous labor leader in America. The fact that the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (I.B.T.) which Hoffa led into a fatal alliance with the mob has been cleaning itself up with remarkable success lately is far less interesting to millions of Americans than the unsolved mystery of his death. The reformers who have run the I.B.T. since 1992 face a serious election challenge this year from the late union president's son, James P. Hoffa. Hoffa represents the more dominant mode of union organization. It projects "labor leadership," rather than worker engagement, as the solution to workplace problems.
