McClellan urges Teamsters to oust Beck amid probe
Sen. McClellan urged the Teamsters to launch an immediate internal probe to determine if Dave Beck should remain president. He cited weeks of testimony about money Beck allegedly extracted from the union and Becks refusal to discuss it. AFL-CIO investigations already suspended Beck as an officer. Beck dodged questions at the hearing, saying he has no intention to quit but would consider a demand from the union’s Executive Board.
