Synopsis
"Collision" is a chronicle of the efforts to eradicate organized crime from the Teamsters. That effort met with success in December 1991, when the Teamsters elected Ron Carey, a reformer from the rank-and-file, as their new president. This election - the first direct secret ballot election by rank and file union members in Teamster history - signals the culmination of 30 years' effort by the Justice Department, reform union members, union organizers, the FBI and others to clean up this most powerful and most corrupt union. "The Teamsters", by Stephen Brill, ended with the warning that the only hope for the mob-controlled organization was for the rank and file, grown distant from the union leadership, to take control. Such an event was unimaginable then. That it has occurred is a victory fought by people of great courage and won in the face of tremendous danger. "Collision" is the story of the emergence of the dissidents and reformers to take over the Teamsters - a story that picks up where Stephen Brill's "Teamsters" left off. It should be useful reading for everyone interested in organized crime, organized labour and current affairs.
