DiGenova's letter was obtained by Teamsters for a Democratic Union, a dissident group within the union that opposes Hoffa's leadership. The group said it would use the recent charges in its effort to get the union election results set aside. The group says Hoffa and other IBT leaders conspired to hide evidence of corruption prior to the election.
"Teamsters United — the coalition who challenged Hoffa in the election, winning a majority of votes in the U.S. and sweeping the Central and Southern regions — is pursuing a post-election appeal. Hoffa abused his power by hiding documents and violating the rulings of the [independent investigations officer] to prevent the charges from coming out before members voted," the group said.
The allegations against William C. Smith come just days after James Hoffa and Ken Hall won re-election to new five-year terms to lead the Teamsters (AP Photo)
