Man Testifies Union Trouble Ties Help Request
A Nashville case reveals a Teamsters Local official accused of pressuring a man to drop assault charges to help Mayor Ben West. Kenneth Whitley testified that City Atty. Robert Jennings offered to “help the man across the hall” if Whitley dropped the case against Perry Cannady, a Teamsters business agent. Whitley said his prosecution continued, and he was fired from the City planning commission weeks later. The Senate committee heard multiple witnesses about labor violence in Southern cities amid the ongoing probe.
