Court Rules Unions Can't Use Funds For Law Trials
The U S Court of Appeals barred unions from using union paid attorneys or funds to defend officers charged with fraud. It ordered a lower court review to determine if Hoffa and other Teamsters officials must reimburse the union for legal services in certain fraud cases. The decision, written by Judge Fahey, says a union treasury cannot cover defense costs for fraud charges against members’ rights. The court also barred one lawyer from representing both a union and its officers in such matters. The ruling stems from a long 1957 dispute over Hoffa’s election, settled by compromise, with residual suits seeking attorney fees above $1 million. The appeals court will consider lower court review on Union funds used to defend Hoffa and others.

He notes late-session difficulty and fears a rejected move could spark a recession while Congress shows widespread caution amid high spending and rising deficits. Byrd opposes handling in the Senate Finance Committee.
