	The Ron Carey Campaign Investigations
		Ron Carey, first elected as General President in 1991, sought a second term.
		New York Times reports that aides to Ron Carey have told prosecutors, and the Election Officer, that Carey "had general knowledge" of what the Election Officer has termed the "contribution swap schemes," in which IBT money was sent to various groups in return for donations to the Carey campaign.
		Carey's lack of memory is less believable because he admitted it was rare that he would personally approve expenses, so these were not routine events in a blizzard of approvals," IRB writes.

	Ron Carey cleared
		NEW YORK--Former Teamsters President Ron Carey was acquitted of all charges in a federal perjury trial here last week, a decision that exposed the frame-up that the government used to force him from the union.
		Carey’s court victory is also a vindication of the movement to chase Hoffa out of union office and democratize the union.
		The wrongdoing by Carey’s aides was used as a pretext to oust Carey himself.

	[No title]
		Carey sought to mislead his interrogators with his claim that the unprecedented and controversial contributions would ultimately not be charges upon the general treasury because of the "reimbursement" mechanism, which he offered in all three depositions as a bogus palliative to the real harm that was done to the general treasury.
		Carey may be held strictly accountable for violations in the course of the campaign, and as a consequence has suffered nullification of his campaign victory, it does not necessarily follow that disqualification would constitute a proper exercise of discretion in the present circumstances.
		Carey should be disqualified from the rerun election implicates the very heart of the federal government's sometimes paradoxical role in encouraging the development of unfettered union democracy on the one hand, and protecting the resources and institutions of rank and file members from the corrupt abuses of its leadership on the other.

	Former Teamsters President Ron Carey indicted for perjury
		Carey is charged with lying to federal officials in 1997 when they were investigating the transfer of nearly $1,000,000 in union money to a number of pro-Democratic Party liberal organizations as part of a scheme in which these organizations were to kick the money back to the Carey campaign.
		Carey pleaded not guilty to the charges in district court in Manhattan on February 2 and was released on his own recognizance after surrendering his passport and all travel documents.
		Carey is charged with making dozens of false statements to federal investigators relating to a plan to donate $885,000 in Teamster funds to four political groups—including $475,000 to Citizen Action—which in turn were to line up matching donations to the Carey campaign through third-party contributors.

	Ron Carey Cleared of all Charges!
		But when Carey told a grand jury that the con job had been done behind his back by trusted aides and he had no idea what was going on—as the prosecution knew he would—the prosecutors secured a perjury indictment.
		In a prepared statement issued on the day of Carey’s acquittal, TDU broke its near-silence on the Carey trial, stating: “This is a good day for Teamsters and the labor movement.” But in the next sentence the statement blamed the victim, Carey, for his and the ranks’ plight.
		TDU’s praise for Carey has got to be cold comfort for those Teamsters in and out of TDU who from the first urged that the TDU leadership conduct a fight to defend the members’ democratic right to elect Carey, since that’s what the ranks wanted.

	The middle class "left" and the fall of Ron Carey
		The purging of Carey and the charges against his allies in the AFL-CIO leadership are the retaliation of the Clinton administration and the capitalist state, aimed at undermining this leadership and suppressing a resurgent trade union movement.
		Carey did nothing to defend scores of strikers who were victimized and fired, and he offered no resistance when UPS announced it planned to fire thousands of workers in retaliation for the walkout.
		Michael Ansara, one of the chief protagonists in the Carey scandal, is an exemplary representative of this social layer.

	CNN.com - Former Teamsters president Ron Carey indicted - January 25, 2001
		NEW YORK (CNN) -- Former Teamster President Ron Carey was indicted Thursday for allegedly committing perjury and making false statements during the investigation of a fundraising scandal that led to his downfall as head of the nation's largest private sector union.
		Carey, 64, who took charge of the union as a reform candidate pledging to clean up its long history of corruption, won re-election in December 1996 by narrowly defeating James P. Hoffa, the son of legendary Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa who disappeared in 1976, the apparent victim of an underworld hit.
		Carey was the first Teamster president in the union's history to be directly elected by the union's rank and file.

	Feds Reject Re-election of Teamsters Boss Ron Carey
		Carey first won his office in a 1991 federally supervised election in which he ran as a reform candidate against the union's old guard leadership.

	Ron Carey - Teamster Labor Pains
		Unlike last year's fiasco, Carey's earlier run was low-budget (costing less than $1 million) and based on the leafleting, phone-banking and organizing activity of hundreds of rank-and-file volunteers.
		With Nash ~nstalled as Carey's campaign manager, they conspired to finance a costly "air war" on Carey's behalf that was viewed as a safe political substitute for fighting it out on the ground.
		Whether Carey remains their standard-bearer, or a replacement candidate emerges, strict new contribution rules ensure that the next round of electioneering will be much less expensive than last year's $7 million slugfest.

	Ron Carey - A more perfect unionist. By David Plotz
		But while Carey is the first union official in a generation to intrude on America's public consciousness, and while the UPS strike is the most important and disruptive walkout since Reagan busted the air-traffic controllers in 1981, the Carey backlash is already under way.
		Carey has long objected to UPS' employment of part-time workers and its widely disparate pay scales, two concessions that the old, corrupt union leaders granted, and which are at the heart of the current strike.
		Carey has spent months rallying the rank and file behind the strike and, UPS' protestations to the contrary, he seems to enjoy overwhelming support from the picketers.
