Teamsters vote to drop Beck emeritus pay provision
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters voted to strike the emeritus provision that would have granted retiring President Dave Beck an emeritus rank and a $60,000 salary. Beck, who retires during the union convention next week, had opposed elimination, while Vice President Hoffa campaigned to succeed him and keep the union aligned with AFL-CIO. The move ends Beck’s automatic rise to emeritus status.
