Ruling Upholds Cleanup Order Against Hoffa
A US Court of Appeals backed major parts of a cleanup order on Teamsters President James R. Hoffa. The three judge panel said monitors have advisory power but may sue to enforce recommendations if defied, and Judge F. Dickson Letts can veto a special union convention to remove monitors. It upheld about a dozen directives but said Letts must specify charges rather than merely approve monitor action. The appeals court struck down a provision forcing automatic follow‑through on all future monitor recommendations unless terms are known.
