Almost since its creation, recurring problems with corruption bedeviled the Teamsters Union. David Witwer provides the first indepth historical study of the forces that contributed to the Teamsters' troubled past and the mechanisms the union employedfrom topdown directives to grassroots measuresto combat corruption.Witwer draws on the perspectives of rankandfile members, union leaders, and the criminal element to explain the processes that allowed organized crime to seize power inside the union. His account includes the infamous links between the Mafia and union head Jimmy Hoffa, but he also tells the littleknown story of the McClellan Committee investigation that first brought those links to light. Witwer also examines how antilabor forces used the Teamsters' unsavory reputation to influence popular and legislative opinion in a broad attack on workers' rights.
