	Appeal of P.O.D. Docket No. 2/202 -- THERAPEUTIC AIDES, INC.
		Jackie Presser, the Respondent, said that he was the sole operator of Therapeutic Aides, Inc.--that he was the distributor of "Erect-Aide." He said that he and Mr.
		Presser is a distributor of truck bodies and automotive lines in Cleveland, Ohio.
		Presser is naive and unsophisticated--that his activity in relation to "Erect-Aide" displays no intent to defraud.

	Teamsters-IBT in the President's Commission on Organized Crime
		While the precise current relationship, if any, between organized crime and the current IBT president, Jackie Presser is not known to the Commission, Presser's past activities indicate that he has associated with organized crime figures and that he benefited from their support in his elevation to the IBT Presidency in 1983.
		Presser ascended in the union hierarchy through organizations, particularly Cleveland Local 507 and Cleveland Joint Council 41, that were infested with LCN associates and convicted felons.
		Presser told Roy Williams that he, Presser, had backed the "wrong" faction in the mob and that his life was in danger.

	Jackie Presser Biography \| World of Criminal Justice
		Presser's work resulted in a considerable growth in support for the Teamsters' union and increased its revenue to such an extent that presidential candidates, among others, sought the union's financial backing and endorsement.
		As such, Presser and his co-defendant claimed that their alleged unlawful actions were linked to a federal investigation and were, therefore, authorized by the government.
		Conversely, the attorneys acting on behalf of the government claimed that Presser's conduct was not, in fact, authorized and, accordingly, his defense was false.

		Presser is a confidant of Anthony Liberatore, a convicted murderer, president of Cleveland Laborers Local 860, and a member of the Cleveland Sewer Board.

	ARTICLE: CLEANING LABOR'S HOUSE: INSTITUTIONAL REFORM LITIGATION IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT. MICHAEL J. GOLDBERG
		Jackie Presser, the late Teamsters president who recently died of cancer, gained that office only after his predecessor, Roy Williams, was convicted on federal charges of attempting to bribe a U.S. Senator.
		Presser apparently did the same by serving as an informant for the FBI and giving information on Williams.
		Presser won election as President in his own right by convention delegates selected through procedures violating the spirit, and arguably the letter, of the Landrum-Griffin Act.

	DENNIS KING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Presser was an associate of organized crime figure John Nardi, who ran Local 410 in Presser's joint council and who had been a codefendant in a pot-smuggling case with NCLC security consultant Mitchell WerBell III.
		Presser was already the chief proponent within the Teamster hierarchy of an aggressive public-relations strategy to counter media critics and Teamster reform groups who were exposing the IBT's (and Presser's) alleged links to organized crime.
		Presser is today the number two man in the entire 1.9-million-member union, and the one who (if he stays out of serious legal difficulties) will probably succeed current IBT president Roy Lee Williams if the current federal indictment of Williams on bribery charges results in conviction and a prison sentence.

	Neff,J. Mobbed Up. 1989
		Jackie Presser (1926-1988) was the son of Teamster power broker Bill Presser, who was convicted of labor racketeering three times.
		Jackie was on his way: in October, 1975, he played golf with Nixon, Fitzsimmons, Anthony Provenzano, and Allen Dorfman and at the LaCosta Country Club.
		Jackie's close ties to the Reagan White House made FBI director William Webster nervous, but Presser's boosters in the FBI continued to protect him, and thwarted efforts by the Labor Department to prosecute him.

		It was always Jackie Presser's ambition to be president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, even though he had watched several bosses stumble trying to keep both the Government and the gangsters at bay.
		The beefy and colorful Presser, 56, an Ohio Teamsters official, was elected to succeed Williams as head of the 1.7 million-member union last Thursday at an executive-board meeting in Arizona.
		Presser has never been charged with a crime and has denied all allegations.

		Zeller declares that Presser made a "devil's pact" that put him under the control of the Mafia while simultaneously acting as an FBI informant.
		At excessive length, Zeller recounts Presser's intrigues, double dealings, and obsessions and how, when Presser died, the federal government began a crack-down that led to the installation of a reform administration.
		Presser, for all his flaws, was a charming rogue who managed to play all sides off against each other right up until his death.

		Rockman swore to Salerno that Presser was not an informant and Salerno agreed to the choice of Presser as IBT President.
		Presser demanded, but was refused, a retraction by the paper.

		The real culprit, he said, was Local 507's secretary-treasurer, Jackie Presser, who happens to be Friedman's nephew as well as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the nation's largest labor union, with 2 million members.
		Presser's immediate predecessor as Teamsters leader, Roy L. Williams, has not been as successful in eluding prosecution.
		Williams, who served as president of the union from 1981 to 1983, was convicted three years ago of attempting to bribe former Nevada Senator Howard Cannon in 1979 in return for the politician's help in opposing a trucking deregulation bill.

		The power-hungry Presser soon gets into bed with the same mobsters who once ridiculed him for being Jewish and relying on his dad's connections.
		Presser also strikes a deal with the FBI to become their top secret informant code-named "The Tailor." He plays both sides against the middle in his quest for power, eventually rubbing elbows with President Reagan before dying of cancer.

		One of the subtexts (besides the generalization--nay, stereotype-- that the poor are noble, industrious and intelligent), is that companies like Walmart make communities worse off through their abusive market power, unlike those quaint little "grassroots" unions of mom-and-pop shops.
		Quite a different picture would emerge if they instead read Mobbed Up, about the life of union boss Jackie Presser.
		Presser and many others, however, ran labor rackets that were simply organization for extortion and price-fixing.

The letter to Rollins stated that NFFE was the exclusive representative of the Fort Sill employees in question, and that the Teamsters had no standing to discuss contracting out on their behalf.
		Prior to the first election on June 20, 1985, Jackie Presser, General President of IBT, on May 17, 1985, wrote a letter to Edward J. Rollins, Assistant to the President for Political and Governmental Affairs, requesting a meeting to discuss contracting out at Fort Sill.
		Jackie, as you know, contracting out is a complicated process that must be judged on a case by case basis.

	Labor Must Clean its Own House - Hands off the Teamsters!
		This is somewhat ironic, as Presser was head of one of two major unions which openly supported Ronald Reagan’s election to the White House.
		(The other was PATCO—smashed by Reagan in 1981.) In Presser’s case, the irony is compounded by last year’s revelation that he had been on the government payroll for years as an FBI informant.
		The suit is the latest move in an ongoing campaign by the U.S. government to establish tame, housebroken unions that police the workers in the interests of the ruling class.

		Recent Teamsters President Ron Carey and his aides were accused of laundering money from the union treasury for use in Carey's 1996 re-election campaign.
		Certainly, the union is no longer the ossified embarrassment to the American labor movement that it was in the 1980s, the heyday of Jackie Presser.
