Dissidents sue Teamsters to block Chavez pact
Fresno officials from the Western Conference sue the Teamsters in Superior Court alleging trusteeship of an agricultural local and closure of its offices in Stockton. The suit aims to halt any agreement with the United Farm Workers and asserts opposition to UFW Teamsters jurisdiction deals. Chavez denies a pact. Teamsters say negotiations continue with no agenda item on a board meeting. A hearing is set to consider a preliminary injunction to stop the trusteeship and protect Local 4b business.

A 1 percent tax on catches could yield about $10 per ton for albacore, applying to tuna, salmon, abalone, lobster, and other commercial catches.
