Teamsters face large legal bill in Hoffa era settlement
The Teamsters confront about a half million dollars in legal fees from the settlement blocking James R. Roffa’s bid for union presidency. Lawyer Godfrey P. Schmidt seeks 300000 in fees, with union approval needed from Judge Letis, as costs on both sides in the case total near 500000. Hoffa says he is divesting private business interests to comply.
