Labor Leaders Face Ethical Probe And Possible Housecleaning
The Executive Council may act on the Ethical Practices Committee recommendation concerning James G. Cross of the Bakery and Confectionery Workers. Cross faces Senate Rackets Committee charges over a substandard contract and a $97.6 million loan plus unaccounted union funds. The council will hear early reports on Anthony Valente and Lloyd Klewert of the United Textile Workers misusing about $100,000, while the Teamsters case against Dave Beck involves $400,000. A Teamsters hearing is set for August 28 as the 114 million member union remains central to AFL-CIO discussions.
