Union chief says reform isn't needed at Teamsters convention
LAS VEGAS Frank E Fitzsimmons president of the Teamsters tells dissidents to go to hell and insists reform is unnecessary. He defends the union as the nation’s biggest and richest, while dissident groups denounce leadership amid ongoing investigations and a pension fund probe. Secretary of Labor Usery commends leaders but says the department’s inquiry continues. Hoffa’s disappearance is noted as a possible motive for old-guard concerns.
