Tainted Chicago Trusteeship to End
HERE boss John W. Wilhelm said May
10 that he was lifting the trusteeship imposed on HERE Local 1 in Nov.
1999 so the local could hold elections in June. [Chi. Trib 5/11/01]
Wilhelm was apparently reacting to federal suit
filed Mar. 16 by Local 1 members seeking an order to compel HERE
to end the trusteeship. The suit followed a Mar. 14-16 trusteeship hearing,
which DOL ordered after finding that HERE violated
labor law. [BNA 3/21/01]
