WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Teamsters Union says it has reached an agreement with the Justice Department to end the government's 25-year anti-corruption oversight of the 1.4-million member union.
The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York joined the Teamsters in asking a federal judge to end the consent order that has been in place since March 1989.
Teamsters President Jim Hoffa called it "a historic day" for the union. He said the union could "finally say that corrupt elements have been driven from the Teamsters" and that government oversight could come to an end.
