| Abstract: |
In the mid-1970s, a small group of Teamsters organized a reform group in Local 282
of the IBT. Though the small group of reformers never never won a majority of votes
in the Local, they engaged in a protracted and well-publicized campaign to clean up
the corrupt practices of its Local officers. The pressure and visibility created by
their efforts resulted in a series of convictions, resignations and trusteeships.
The collection includes news clippings, rank and file platforms, fliers, FORE publications,
election ballots, correspondence, legal documents, NLRB proceedings, documents related
to Local 282, including indictments, newsletters and news clippings.
