Pine St., Georgetown, DE ABOUT THE PROGRAM Martin Scorsese's The Irishman tells the true story of mob hitman and World War II veteran Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran. The film follows Sheeran in his later years of life as he reflects on the events that defined his career as a notorious hitman, particularly the role he played in the disappearance of labor leader and his longtime friend Jimmy Hoffa. The film also looks back at Sheeran's involvement with the Bufalino crime family. Bufalino had introduced Sheeran to Teamsters International President Jimmy Hoffa. Hoffa, who became a close friend, allegedly used Sheeran for muscle, including the assassination of recalcitrant union members and members of rival unions threatening the Teamsters' turf. According to Sheeran, the first conversation he had with Hoffa was over the phone, where Hoffa started by saying, "I heard you paint houses" — a mob code meaning: I heard you kill people, the "paint" being the blood that splatters when bullets are fired into a body.

  • INVESTIGATIONS OFFICER, PAUL E. BUSH, Claimant, V. Respondent
    INVESTIGATIONS OFFICER, Claimant, DECISION OF THE INDEPENDENT v. ADMINISTRATOR PAUL E. BUSH, Respondent. This matter concerns a charge filed by the Investigations Officer, Charles M. Carberry, against Paul E. Bush ("Bush" or "Respondent"), the President of IBT Local Union 506 in Auburn, New York. A hearing was held before me on this charge, and post- hearing submissions were received. Bush was represented by counsel at the hearing. Having reviewed the evidence and the post-hearing submissions, I find that the Investigations Officer has failed to meet his just cause burden of proving the charge against Bush. United States v. IBT, 754 F. Supp. 333, 337-338 (S.D.N.Y. 1990) ("[T]he Investigations Officer must establish just cause at disciplinary hearings by a fair preponderance of the evidence."). I. THE CHARGE The Investigations Officer charged Bush with: [V]iolating Article II, Section 2(a) and Article XIX, Section 7(b) of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) constitution, by conducting [him]self in a manner to bring reproach upon the IBT and by violating [his] oath. TO WIT: from at least 198 0 to the present while [Bush] w[as] an officer of Local 506 in Auburn, New York [he] associated with members and associates of the Bufalino organized crime family including, but not limited to, Anthony "Guv" Guarnieri and Ellis Klepfer. II. FINDINGS OF FACT A. Facts Not in Dispute There are certain facts alleged by the Investigations Officer in this case that were established at the hearing and which, in the main, Respondent does not dispute. These facts are as follows: It is undisputed that both Anthony "Guv" Guarnieri ("Guv") and Ellis Klepfer ("Klepfer") were members of organized crime.
