The Teamsters union has filed a request to end federal court oversight of its operations. The request follows the union leader's re-election and discussions with the White House.
flipboard.comThe request comes after the union's leader won re-election to a second term. The union has cited its relationship with President Trump as a factor in pursuing the change.
Federal monitoring of the union began decades ago following multiple investigations into organized crime influence and financial misconduct. The oversight has included court-appointed monitors reviewing union finances and elections. Union officials stated that current leadership has implemented internal reforms and that continued oversight is no longer necessary.
A federal judge will review the request and determine whether conditions for ending oversight have been met. The court has not yet set a hearing date.
