  • Review Board Re: Proposed Charges Against Local 282 Member Anthony Sainato Date: May 24, 2001
    To: Members of Local 282 Executive Board From: Members of the Independent Review Board Re: Proposed Charges Against Local 282 Member Anthony Sainato Date: May 24, 2001 I. RECOMMENDATION The Independent Review Board ("IRB") refers the below report to the Local 282 Executive Board and recommends the filing charges against Local 282 member Anthony Sainato ("Sainato") for failing to cooperate with the IRB by refusing to answer at least sixty guestions during his sworn examination on May 8, 2001 concerning his association with individuals publicly identified as either members or associates of the Columbo La Cosa Nostra ("LCN") Family. By his actions, it appears that, while an IBT member, Sainato violated Article II, Section 2(a) and Article XIX, Section 7(b)(1) and (2) and Section 14 (i) of the IBT Constitution by obstructing, interfering and unreasonably failing to cooperate with the duties of the IRB as set forth in Paragraph G of the March 14, 1989 Consent Decree in United States v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters, 88 Civ. 4486 (S.D.N.Y.) ("Consent Decree"). II. JURISDICTION Pursuant to Article XIX, Section 14(c) of the IBT Constitution, this disciplinary matter is within the jurisdiction of the Local 282 Executive Board. Paragraph G(e) of the March 14, 1989 Consent Decree in "niter!-Stgj^g. v-^Lnternational Brotherhood of Teamsters, 88 Civ. 4486 (S.D.N.Y.) and Paragraph 1(6) of the Rules and Procedures for Operation of the Independent Review Board ("the IRB Rules") require that within 90 days of the IRB's referral of a matter to an IBT entity, that IBT entity must file with the IRB written findings setting forth the specific action taken and the reasons for that action.

  • Administrative Criminal Law & Procedure in The
    Administrative Criminal Law & Procedure in the Teamsters Union: What Has Been Achieved After (Nearly) Twenty Years James B. Jacobs' Dimitri D. Portnoi tt This Article is a comprehensive case study of the most important civil RICO labor racketeeringcase in American history, U.S. v. IBT. It provides the first empirical study of the effort by DOJ and the federal courts to purge organized crime from the IBT and to reform the union so that it will be resistant to future corruption and racketeering. Drawing on 18 years of litigation generated by the effort of court-supervised monitors to enforce the 1988 settlement, it utilizes a database of all disciplinary charges brought by and the sanctions imposed by the court-supervised monitors. This Article traces the remedial phase which has generated an immense amount of litigation right up to the present andfocuses on the disciplinary (as opposed to the election) part of the remedial effort. The magnitude of this effort can hardly be exaggerated. The two remedial entities that the settlement established to enforce the consent order have expelled more than 500 officers and members from the IBT and placed some 40 IBT locals and joint councils under the internationalunion's trusteeship. This work has been accomplished via the creation of a IBT-specific criminaljustice system that has evolved into an elaborate system of procedural and substantive disciplinary law. U.S. v. t Warren E.
