ABSTRACT

Your organization promotes better working conditions and higher wages for the members in your organization (Teamsters, 2012). During the organization’s existence there have been several strikes backed by your union to force management to provide better conditions for employment (Teamsters, 2012). Some of these strikes, like the 1907 strike against Montgomery Ward, were violent and resulted in deaths as well as property damage (Teamsters, 2012). In 1959, the president of your organization, James R. Hoffa, is accused on national television by Robert F. Kennedy, the chief counsel of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee, of being associated with the mafia (Bruno, 2012). What should the trustees do for the organization at this point?
