Union Pressure Tactics In Michigan Strike Told
A witness testified before the Senate Rackets Committee alleging the Teamsters used pressure tactics during a Michigan auto strike backed by James Hoffa. Joseph Kritch said Hoffa funded a Florida real estate venture and that 50 to 75 pickets taunted a dealer’s daughter as a man died from a bad heart amid the pressure campaign at Rosedale Motors in the Detroit suburb. The witness tied Henry Lower to the actions and said the union aimed to pressure owner Lowe. The testimony also notes the widow’s distress. The teamsters later appealed a federal injunction that postponed next week’s national officers election.
