A high-level Teamsters official from New York yesterday was indicted on federal embezzlement and extortion charges for demanding among other things:
"…that his employees mow his lawn, clean his gutters and chauffeur his family."
Sounds like quite the life. According to the article:
"The indictment said the employees complied with Rumore’s demands because they feared they would suffer economic harm or even lose their jobs if they did not."
Rumore was released on $250,000 bond, I wonder where he got all that cash. He also faces up to 25 years in prison.
As noted by the late Senator John McClellan, "Compulsory unionism and corruption go hand-in-hand." These are the sorts of misdeeds union officials perpetrate at the expense of rank-and-file workers when the do not face the accountability instilled by a Right to Work law.
