Trump Gives Teamsters a Chance to Shed Oversight Meant to Curb Mob Ties

President Trump has given the Teamsters union an opportunity to end court-ordered oversight that was put in place to curb mob ties. The move comes after Sean M. O'Brien, the union's re-elected leader, leveraged his relationship with Trump to secure the change. O'Brien's efforts have resulted in the potential end of corruption monitoring that has been in place for decades. The development marks a significant shift for the union, which has been under scrutiny for its historical ties to organized crime.
