Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book reveals improper activities within the labor and management fields through select hearings held by the United States Senate. The hearings were held in the late 1950s and shed light on corruption, embezzlement, racketeering, and intimidation tactics used to exploit workers. One recurring figure in the hearings is Teamsters union official Jimmy Hoffa. The author details the efforts by the McClellan Committee to investigate labor leaders like Hoffa, who had ties to organized crime and used strong-arm tactics to manipulate union elections, control industries, and avoid legal repercussions. The book illustrates the complex and often dangerous relationship between labor unions, management, and organized crime during the mid-20th century.
