TO: IBT General President Carey
FROM: Members of the Independent Review Board
RE: Trusteeship Recommendation Concerning Local 714
DATE: August 5, 1996
I. RECOMMENDATION
The Independent Review Board recommends to the IBT
General President that IBT Local 714 located in Chicago, Illinois
be placed in trusteeship because the Local is not being run for the
benefit of its members. As detailed below, the Local is being run
for the benefit of its principal officer William Hogan, Jr.,
President James M. Hogan, Recording Secretary Robert Hogan and
their family and friends.
Nepotism and favoritism are prominent factors influencing
entry into and work assignments in the Local's trade show/movie
division which refers members to the Local's best jobs. Local
members in positions of authority in that division and their
relatives own businesses which are dependent for profits on Local
714 employers. These business interests with employers were not
disclosed to members.
Moreover, the Local has also entered into several
apparently sham collective bargaining agreements which allowed
management members to become Teamsters and, in one instance,
allowed a company a Hogan relative owned, from the beginning of the
contract until two years later to avoid its contractual obligations
to make health fund contributions.
Accordingly, pursuant to Article VI, Section 5(a) of the

conducted. l Since at least 1961, Local 714 has not held any contested
IBT Constitution, a trusteeship is warranted.
II.
SUMMARY
The IRB conducted a thorough investigation of Local 714.
In December 1995, the Local's books and records were examined.
Between January and May 1996, the sworn examinations of 126 Local
714 members and 11 Local officers and business agents were
elections for union office and each member of the current Executive
Board was initially appointed to office. (Ex. 1 at 4-5, 9-10)
Nepotism was an improper influence in appointments to union
positions, obtaining Local employment and in the administration of
the Local's 258-member trade show/movie division. Three relatives
of former principal officer William Hogan, Sr. are Local Executive
Board members originally appointed to fill vacancies: his two sons,
Secretary-Treasurer William Hogan, Jr. and President James M.
Hogan, and his grandson, Recording Secretary Robert Hogan. A
fourth relative, his son-in-law Michael Vendafreddo, is a Local
business agent. (Appendix A) Hogan relatives also have the
contract to clean the Local's offices and have been Local clerical
employees.
With respect to the Local's trade show/movie division, as
detailed infra at 23-31, there are no written procedures governing

were members in the Local's trade show/movie division.

how individuals may become part of the division or how the members
are referred to work. Secretary-Treasurer William Hogan, Jr., his
appointed chief steward and his son, trade show/movie division
business agent Robert Hogan, control which individuals will be
allowed to join the division. Family and social relations control
who is permitted to join the division. This is evident in that
half of the individuals permitted to join the Local's trade
show/movie division since January 1993 had ties to the Hogan family
or one of the appointed chief stewards, Michael Hardy or Nick
Boscarino. (Ex. 2) 2 Michael Hardy, the trade show/movie division
chief steward, whom the Local's principal officer appointed and may
remove, controls who in the division is referred to work.
Moreover, relatives and friends of the Hogan family
dominate the authority positions within the Local's trade
show/movie division. Seventy-two percent of the members who have
held positions of authority in the movie industry began working in
the industry through ties to the Hogan family (Ex. 3); over half of
the members who have held authority positions in the trade show
industry have ties to the Hogan family. (Ex. 4) In addition, as
detailed infra at 32, at a minimum, twenty percent of the members
in the trade show/movie division have ties to the Hogan family.

As discussed infra at 62-63, the manner in which members

As detailed infra at 32, this figure is based upon
information known about 136 of the 258 members in the trade
show/movie division. (Ex. 5) As a result, the twenty percent
figure is the minimum percentage of members in that division who
3

Local 714 members do business with his companies.
In addition to the nepotism, favoritism and conflicted
positions in the trade show/movie division, the Local appears to
have allowed ineligible individuals to become members and entered
into sham contracts. For example, Local 714 was unable to provide
a signed collective bargaining agreement for S & J Scrap where two
Local members, Brian and Sheldon Weinberg, were allegedly employed.
As detailed infra at 96-100, the address given for Brian and
Sheldon Weinberg's purported employer was a used car lot. After
IRB inquiries to the Local regarding them, the Weinbergs were
issued withdrawal cards and the Local's Metal Industry Health Fund
filed a complaint against the Weinbergs seeking to recover health
benefits paid on their behalf. 5
Furthermore, without disclosure of the family
relationship to the Local's Executive Board or to the members
employed at the company, Local 714 entered into a collective
bargaining agreement with a company William Hogan, Jr.'s nephew
owned, Convention Cartage Systems, and failed to collect health
benefit premiums from the company for approximately two years.
Maxwell's uncle and cousin, President Hogan and Recording Secretary
Hogan, signed the contract on behalf of the Local. Trade
show/movie division steward Robert Hogan also was the business
5 On June 7, 1996, the IRB recommended to the Local 714
Executive Board that the Weinbergs be charged with failing to
cooperate with the IRB by failing to appear for their sworn
examinations without explanation. (Ex. 127) On July 22, 1996, the
Local 714 Executive Board permanently barred the Weinbergs from the
IBT. (Ex. 310)
5

agent for his cousin's company.
Since the signing of this
agreement in May 1994, Convention Cartage Systems failed to make
the contractually required contributions for its employees to the
Local 714 Health Fund. Subsequent to the IRB's inquiries regarding
this company, the Local 714 Health Fund filed a complaint seeking
at least $50,000 in back contributions to the Fund.
In addition, the Local entered into a collective
bargaining agreement with a company, Consolidated Film Delivery,
which contained an unusual provision. The agreement provided in
the section dealing with health benefits that "[t]he Company may
include their own office help or any one they choose providing the
law will allow them." (Ex. 128 at 5) An officer of this company
is apparently a member of Local 714 and the steward.
Furthermore, as detailed infra at 100-102, 105, the Local
permitted at least four non-bargaining unit employees to join the
Local apparently for health benefits. As discussed infra at 102-
105, the Local also permitted an individual to join the Local's
trade show/movie division while his criminal appeal was pending and
remain a Local member while he was incarcerated.
The Local has undertaken after the IRB investigation some
claimed remedial actions which appear to lack substance. None of
these claimed reforms address the historic discrimination that has
made membership in the movie and trade show division open to only
a connected few.
The Local has a history of making cosmetic changes in the
face of adverse attention. As discussed infra at 118-120, in the
6

1970s after negative publicity in Chicago papers regarding
organized crime figures employed at McCormick Place, the Local
addressed the problem by planning to temporarily transfer the
identified organized crime figures to less high profile jobs within
the Local until media attention died down.
The Local's lack of commitment to reform itself was also
recently demonstrated after an IBT auditor raised with Secretary-
Treasurer Hogan and his brother, President Hogan, that Local 714
has not held the number of Executive Board and membership meetings
the IBT Constitution required. Compliance was promised. Even
after that, the Local did not comply with the IBT Constitutional
requirements.
Accordingly, for all the above reasons as detailed below,
it appears Local 714 should be placed in trusteeship.
III.

Board members.
Local 714 has four business agents who are not Executive

After approximately two years as
14
Local 714 does not pay Hardy; the trade show contractors at

12

B. Local 714 is Run for the Benefit of the Hogan Family and
Friends
1. Background
Local 714 was chartered in approximately 1934. (Ex. 145)
William Hogan, Sr., who became a Local 714 employee in May 1939,
was the Local's principal officer from 1940 until 1990 when he
retired. (Ex. 146 at 2-3; Ex. 147) For at least the past thirtyfive
years, Local 714 has not had any contested elections for union
office. (Ex. 1 at 4-5, 9-10) Every member of the current Executive
Board first became a member of the Board when appointed by the
Board to fill a vacancy.
2. Nepotism in Hiring at the Local
In or about July 1961, William Hogan, Sr. appointed his
son William Hogan, Jr., then approximately twenty-one years old, to
a Local 714 office clerical position. (Ex. 1 at 4-5, 8) Within one
year William Hogan, Jr. was appointed a business agent. (Ex. 1 at
5, 6) 19 In 1968, his father appointed him Vice President. (Ex. 1
at 6-7)
After approximately one year as Vice President, he was
appointed President. (Ex. 1 at 7) As discussed, William Hogan, Jr.
was appointed principal officer after his father retired in 1990.
(Ex. 1 at 7)
19
William Hogan, Jr. became a Local 714 member the day after
he was hired to work at Local 714. (Exs. 148-149) During his
sworn examination, William Hogan, Jr. testified that immediately
prior to his Local 714 employment, he worked as a non-union glue
factory worker. (Ex. 1 at 5-6) William Hogan, Jr.'s only
experience working for a company with a collective bargaining
agreement with the Local was his work in the stockroom at Elkay
Manufacturing when he was in high school. (Ex. 1 at 10)
13

Hogan, Sr. hired his son, current President James M.
Hogan, in April 1969 as a business agent. (Ex. 135 at 3, 7) James
Hogan testified that he was never employed by an employer having a
collective bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Ex. 135 at 5) He
had no prior experience representing employees. (Ex. 135 at 4-5)
In approximately 1975, James Hogan was appointed a Trustee on the
Local's Executive Board. (Ex. 131)
In or about 1977, he was
appointed Recording Secretary and in 1990, he was appointed
President. (Ex. 135 at 8-9; Ex. 131) 20
In January 1990, then Secretary-Treasurer William Hogan,
Sr. hired his grandson Robert Hogan as a business agent. (Ex. 136
at 5-6) Robert Hogan joined the Local 714 trade show/movie
division in July 1983 when he was approximately 19 years old. (Ex.
136 at 3-4) He is currently the Local's Recording Secretary, the
third Hogan family board member, and a business agent for the trade
show/movie industry. (Ex. 136 at 6)
In or about 1985, William Hogan, Sr., hired his son-inlaw,
Vendafreddo, to be a Local 714 business agent. (Ex. 140 at 3-
4) 21 Vendafreddo had no prior experience representing employees.
20
President Hogan's son, Brian Hogan, became a Local 714
member in approximately September 1994 employed at Convention
Cartage. (Ex. 150 at 4) As discussed infra at 106-111, Ronald
Maxwell, Jr., a nephew of both President and Secretary-Treasurer
Hogan, owns Convention Cartage Systems, which has a collective
bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Ex. 135 at 52-54)
21
According to President Hogan, approximately ten years ago,
Elizabeth Vendafreddo, his sister and Vendafreddo's wife, worked in
the Local's offices. (Ex. 135 at 20)
14

(Ex. 140 at 5-6, 9-10) 22
Between approximately 1973 and 1990, the Local employed
Delores Voss, a cousin of William Hogan, Jr., in the Local's
office. (Ex. 118 at 4, 6; Ex. 151; Appendix B) 23
When Voss retired
in 1990, she was the Local's office manager. (Ex. 151; Ex. 118 at
6) 24 Voss's employee wage and expense records reflected that Local
714 paid her $33,052 in 1990. (Ex. 151) In addition, President
Hogan testified that his cousin, Eileen Nallon, worked as a Local
secretary for approximately ten years. (Ex. 135 at 114) According
to Local records, Nallon was last employed at Local 714 in October
1989. (Ex. 152)
William Hogan, Jr.'s sister, Winifred Torii, and her
husband, Local 714 trade show/movie division member Dale Torii, own
Exhibition Maintenance, which Local 714 pays $1,050 each month to
provide cleaning services to the Local. (Ex. 115 at 10; Ex. 153) 25
22
Prior to being hired to work at Local 714, Vendafreddo had
a business, Winella Enterprises, Inc., which sold a coffee
extending product. (Ex. 140 at 4)
23
Delores Voss's mother, Margaret Levin, whose maiden name
was Nallon, was the sister of William Hogan, Sr.'s wife, Winifred
Hogan, whose maiden name was also Nallon. (Ex. 118 at 4-5; Appendix
B)
24
Delores Voss's husband, George Voss, and their son, Robert
Voss, worked in the Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 118 at
6-7) George Voss retired; Robert Voss is currently a trade
show/movie division member. (Ex. 118 at 6-7)
25
Local 714 trade show/movie division member Joe Polizzi
testified that while he was working as an extra in the Local's
trade show/movie division in 1994 and 1995, he worked for Dale
Torii's company cleaning the union hall. (Ex. 97 at 16-17) Polizzi
testified that he worked cleaning the union hall three or four
times a week for an average of two hours each day. (Ex. 97 at 17)
Polizzi testified that at that time he was the only person cleaning
15

In addition, Local 714 paid Brian and Brad Hogan, the President's
sons, to do clean-up work at the Local after the renovation of the
Local's offices. (Ex. 150 at 8)
C. Lack of Fair Procedures in the Trade Show/Movie Division
1. Introduction
Local 714 has jurisdiction to represent employees in the
trade show and movie industries in the Chicago area. 26 The trade
shows are held at several locations including McCormick Place, the
Rosemont Exposition Center, Navy Pier and several hotels. (Ex. 50
at 47, 87) 27 There are approximately 258 Local 714 members in the
Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 133) 28
The jobs in the trade show/movie division, as discussed
in Appendix C, are among the highest paid jobs in the Local. For
example, as detailed in Appendix C, the forklift operators in the
trade show division were paid the highest hourly rate of any
forklift operators in the Local. (Exs. 161 and 162) The forklift
at the union hall and he was paid a flat rate of $500 a month for
such work. (Ex. 97 at 18) Polizzi testified that he stopped
cleaning the union hall when he became a Local member. (Ex. 97 at
18)
26
Local members also work on concert productions in the
Chicago area. (Ex. 50 at 47)
27
In news accounts, McCormick Place has been described as the
largest national convention center. (Ex. 154)
28
This is the number of men on the January 1996 trade
show/movie division membership list. (Ex. 133) These members do
not pay dues via check-off because they are not regularly employed
by any particular employer. Rather, these members self pay dues to
the Local on a quarterly basis. There appear to be no women on the
trade show/movie division list. (Ex. 133)
16

drivers covered under the trade show collective bargaining
agreements were paid between $4.50 and $10.75 per hour more than
the other Local 714 members employed as forklift drivers. (Exs.
159, 161 and 162.)
The highly paid positions in the trade show/movie
division appear to be given to relatives and friends of the Hogan
family and the two chief stewards. These positions do not appear
to be open to longstanding Local members working in other areas.
As detailed infra at 18-20, the Local has the authority
refer individuals to work in the trade show and movie
industries. The Local does not have any written procedures
regarding either work referrals or who will be permitted to become
a member of the Local's trade show/movie division. Relatives and
friends of the Hogan family and the two chief stewards in the trade
show/movie division dominated the positions of authority in this
division. 29 Seventy-two percent of the twenty-two members who have
held positions of authority in the movie industry were relatives or
pre-union friends of the Hogan family. (Ex. 3)
Only six of the 136 members in the Local's trade
show/movie division for whom information was gathered were members
of the Local prior to working in the Local's trade show/movie

division. (Ex. 5) 30
Moreover, of the thirty-four individuals who
joined the Local's trade show/movie division since January 1993,
fifty percent were relatives or friends of the Hogan family or the
two chief stewards. (Ex. 2)
As the comparison among Local 714 contracts found in
Appendix C shows, the trade show/movie division jobs are
substantially better paid and have better benefits than other
comparable jobs covered under Local agreements.
Given this, the
disproportionate presence of Local officers' and stewards'
relatives and friends in the trade show/movie division jobs shows
the officers and stewards run the Local for themselves and not the
members.
2. The Local's Authority Regarding Work Referrals in
the Trade Show and Movie Industries
a. Trade Shows
Local 714 has current collective bargaining agreements
with approximately five trade show contractors who do business in
the Chicago area including Freeman Decorating Services ("Freeman"),
Greyhound Exposition Services ("GES"), J & J Exhibitor Service
("J&J"), Rosemont Exposition Services ("RES") and Champion
30
Information regarding 136 members who self pay their dues
and work for various trade show contractors and movie production
companies was gathered during the sworn examinations of 114 members
in the trade show/movie division and the Local's officers and
employees. Of the 136 individuals for which information was
obtained, only six members were Local 714 members prior to working
in the Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 5) Four men who
were Local 714 members prior to working in the Local's trade
show/movie division, John A. Smith, Aubrey Smith, Dennis Smith and
Darnell Jones, previously worked for Local 714 employer Stainless
Processing. (Ex. 108 at 3-4; Ex. 60 at 3; Ex. 110 at 3-4; Ex. 107
at 8)
18

Exposition Services. (Exs. 132, 155-58 and 305)
Pursuant to
Article II, Section 2(a) of the collective bargaining agreements
with these six companies, Local 714 has the authority to refer
individuals to work for the trade show contractors at the different
trade shows in the Chicago area. (Exs. 155-58 and 305; Ex. 136 at
53)
When the Local 714 chief steward, whom the Local's
principal officer appointed, received a call from trade show
contractors requesting members for a trade show, he then referred
individual members to work for the contractors. (Ex. 50 at 27-28;
Ex. 52 at 15-16; Ex. 1 at 110) In addition to referring Local 714
members to work, the chief steward also referred extras, who are
not Local members, to work for the trade show contractors. (Ex. 50
at 20, 25) 31
Extras are referred to work if all the members in the
trade show/movie division are working. (Ex. 50 at 35-36)
Work
covered under the Local 714 collective bargaining agreements with
trade show contractors can only be done by someone the chief
steward referred. (Ex. 50 at 20-21; Ex. 136 at 52) 32
b. Movies
According to Secretary-Treasurer Hogan, for each movie
31 The extras the chief steward assigned to work were paid the
same hourly rate as the Local members and employer contributions to
benefit funds were paid according to the collective bargaining
agreement on behalf of the extras. (Ex. 50 at 51-52) However, an
extra may not qualify for certain benefits because, for example, a
certain number of hours per quarter was necessary in order to
obtain health benefits. (Ex. 50 at 50-51)
32 The only exception was the trade show contractors were free
to hire if the chief steward could not fill the call. (Ex. 50 at
53)
19

production, the movie production company and Local 714 enter into
a letter of agreement which sets forth wages and benefits. (Ex. 1
at 34-35) Secretary-Treasurer Hogan, chief steward Hardy and
business agent Robert Hogan were responsible for deciding which
members and extras would work on movie productions. (Ex. 1 at 110;
Ex. 50 at 58-59)
3. The Chief Steward Position
Secretary-Treasurer Hogan testified that he had the
authority to appoint and remove Local 714 stewards. (Ex. 1 at 28-
29) Section 12 of the Local 714 Bylaws provided,
(Ex. 163)
[b]y determination of, and in the sole discretion of the
Secretary-Treasurer, stewards shall be appointed by the
Secretary-Treasurer, or may be elected by the members of
each particular division, craft or place of employment.
In addition to having a chief steward for the Local's
entire trade show and movie division with an office located at
McCormick Place, the Local also has a chief steward based at the
Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex. 13 at 22-23) Beginning in 1978,
the appointed chief steward at the Rosemont Exposition Center was
Nick Boscarino ("Boscarino"). (Ex. 13 at 18, 22-23) As discussed
infra
at 74-77, on the date of his second IRB sworn examination,
Boscarino resigned his position as Rosemont chief steward and his
IBT membership effective immediately, apparently to avoid
testifying. (Exs. 124-26)
Exposition Center is discussed infra at 51-53.
Boscarino's position at the Rosemont
Beginning in at least the late 1960s, the chief steward
20

in the Local's trade show division was David Kaye ("Kaye " ). 33
In
or about the mid 1970s, Kaye was convicted of violating 18 U.S.C.
§1962(c) and 29 U.S.C. §186(b)(1) in connection with taking money
from trade show contractors for work he did not perform. He was
sentenced to two years incarceration and a consecutive sentence of
three years probation. Kaye's conviction was affirmed on May 16,
1977. United States v. Kaye, 556 F.2d 855 (7th Cir. 1977). m
After Kaye went to prison, Michael Hogan, Sr., a third
son of William Hogan, Sr., was appointed the Local's chief steward.
(Ex. 1 at 87; Ex. 50 at 5) According to Local 714 records, he had
become a Local 714 member in or about October 1968. (Ex. 164) In
or about 1979, he resigned as the Local 714 chief steward. (Ex. 49
at 11)
35
33
In or about 1971, David Kaminsky, David Kaye's nephew,
joined Local 714 and began to work in the receiving room at
McCormick Place. (Ex. 303 at 3-5) Kaminsky testified that in
approximately 1980 he was convicted of felony assault with a weapon
and was sentenced to probation. (Ex. 303 at 6-7)
34 It appears that while Kaye was appealing his conviction, he
was permitted to continue as the Local's chief steward at McCormick
Place. On May 16, 1977, the Court of Appeals for the Seventh
Circuit affirmed Kaye's conviction. United States v. Kaye, 556 F.
2d 855 (7th Cir. 1977) During a deposition taken on June 21, 1977,
William Hogan, Sr., then the Local 714 principal officer, testified
that Kaye was continuing to work at McCormick Place. (Ex. 146 at
12) As discussed infra at 102, fn. 201, the Local has continued
its tradition of embracing convicted felons to the detriment of its
other members.
35
As discussed infra at 77-80, it appears that Michael Hogan,
Sr. left his position as chief steward to form Rosemont Exposition
Services, the trade show contractor at the Rosemont Exposition
Center. (Ex. 135 at 98-99) Rosemont Exposition Services currently
has a collective bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Ex. 156) As
discussed infra at 79-80, it is unclear whether Michael Hogan, Sr.
has a continuing interest in Rosemont Exposition Services.
However, during the time that he had an ownership interest in that
21

Upon his son's resignation as chief steward, in or about
1979, William Hogan, Sr. appointed Michael Hardy ("Hardy") to be
the chief steward in the trade show division. (Ex. 49 at 11) In
approximately 1976, Hardy had first become a Local 714 member in
the Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 132) 36
supra
As discussed
at 10-11, in 1979 Hardy was appointed a Trustee on the
Local's Executive Board. (Ex. 131)
Hardy, who has an office at
McCormick Place, testified that in 1995 he was paid approximately
$100,000 as the Local's chief steward. (Ex. 49 at 12, 18-19) 37
Hardy testified that whichever trade show contractor handled the
trade show at McCormick Place paid his salary. (Ex. 49 at 18)
During his May 29, 1996 sworn examination, Secretary-
Treasurer Hogan testified that Hardy intended to resign as chief
steward. (Ex. 1 at 77, 80) Hogan testified that Hardy's
resignation was prompted by questions about Hardy's credibility.
(Ex. 1 at 77) As of the date of his sworn examination, Hogan had
not selected a replacement for Hardy. (Ex. 1 at 80)
4. Lack of Objective Procedures for Selecting Members and
Extras to Work in Trade Show/Movie Industries
Local 714 has no written procedures for how Local 714
company, Local 714 had a collective bargaining agreement with
Rosemont Exposition Services. (Ex. 135 at 98)
36
Prior to joining Local 714, Hardy was the zamboni driver
for the Chicago Blackhawks at the International Amphitheater where
Teamsters also worked on trade shows. (Ex. 50 at 3) As a result,
Hardy met Michael Hogan, Sr. and became a Local member through him
and other Teamsters. (Ex. 49 at 4-5)
37
Hardy testified that in 1994 he was paid approximately
$120,000 as the chief steward. (Ex. 49 at 18-19)
22

members and extras are referred to work for trade show contractors
or for movie production companies. (Ex. 1 at 112; Ex. 165)
Moreover, the Local does not have any seniority lists of the Local
714 members or the extras employed in the trade show or movie
industries. (Ex. 49 at 13; Ex. 136 at 41, 43; Ex. 165)
documents the chief steward claimed he used to refer members and
extras to work for trade shows and movies were two alphabetical
lists, one of members in the Local's trade show/movie division and
the other of extras in that division. (Ex. 50 at 25-26, 31-32; Exs.
166-67) 38 The April 1996 alphabetical list of members contained
246 names and the April 1996 alphabetical list of extras listed 108
individuals. (Exs. 166-67) 39
The
Hardy acknowledged that he kept no
documents that reflected who was available to work on any given
day. (Ex. 50 at 32) Hardy testified,
(Ex. 50 at 32)
there are no documents. All that information is within
my knowledge. I deal with this every day. I know who's
available, who's not available, and every particular
nuance or quirk of every member in that division. That's
my job.
There was no indication on either of the two alphabetical
lists of the date each person began working in the Local's trade
38
These lists include each listed person's telephone number
or beeper number. (Exs. 166-67)
39
Other than the alphabetical list of extras, Hardy did not
keep any other documents regarding the extras who were available to
work. (Ex. 50 at 27)
23

show/movie division. (Ex. 50 at 32) 4 °
When questioned regarding
whether he kept track of how often each member worked, Hardy
testified, "No, . . my responsibility is filling the calls.
Where they worked a month ago, off the top of my head I couldn't
begin to tell you. I wouldn't have that information." (Ex. 50 at
34)
In addition to not maintaining any record of when an
individual began working in the trade show/movie industry or how
often each person worked, Hardy testified that he did not maintain
any documents reflecting the members' and extras' qualifications.
(Ex. 50 at 26, 39-41) Rather, Hardy testified that he knew the
qualifications of each of the 246 members and 108 extras. (Ex. 50
at 26, 39-41)
According to chief steward Hardy, in order to operate
various equipment in movie productions, an individual must possess
a special drivers license. (Ex. 50 at 39) However, Hardy did not
maintain any documents which indicated the types of licenses extras
and members possessed. (Ex. 50 at 26, 39-41) In addition, at least
some of the transportation equipment the movie production companies
used did not require a driver with a specific license. For
example, at least twelve Local 714 members testified that they
operated equipment on movies and did not possess commercial drivers
licenses. (Ex. 75 at 18-24; Ex. 71 at 16-18; Ex. 35 at 11, 13-18;
Ex. 80 at 21-31; Ex. 43 at 15-20; Ex. 37 at 16-24; Ex. 108 at 22-
40
In addition, Hardy testified that he did not maintain any
records indicating when an individual began working as an -extra.
(Ex. 50 at 84)
24

30; Ex. 7 at 13-15; Ex. 21 at 13-20; Ex. 28 at 17-20; Ex. 69 at 18-
21 and Ex. 97 at 10-11)
Business agent Robert Hogan, who also was involved in
assigning members to work on movie productions, testified that on
movie productions individuals who did not have particular licenses
or skills were "kind of rotated into the positions that are
available." (Ex. 136 at 46) He admitted there were no lists used
to determine who would be rotated into a job on a movie. (Ex. 136
at 46-47) In addition, when asked how this rotation system worked,
he testified,
(Ex. 136 at 46)
[w]ell, we just try to keep -- I mean there's nothing
written on how we do it, it's just -- you know, there's
only so many people that can do it, or so many positions
for them. And the majority of the people have that type
of driver's license, so [sic] try to rotate them in
there.
During their sworn examinations, Hardy and William Hogan,
Jr. each testified that a seniority system could not be used to
refer individuals because there were too many variables involved in
the selection of individuals to refer to work. (Ex. 50 at 85-88;
Ex. 1 at 111) Hardy listed these variables as including that
assignments were at different locations in the Chicago area,
certain individuals had strong preferences regarding their work
assignments and, in the movie industry, certain licenses were
required to drive particular equipment. (Ex. 50 at 85-88)
These claims appear pretextual and do not explain the
constant flow of Hogan relatives and friends into these jobs. The
Local did not maintain any documents which reflected the
25

qualifications, such as particular classes of drivers license or
work preferences, of the 354 members and extras in the Local's
trade show division. (Ex. 49 at 29 and Ex. 50 at 26) 41 Instead,
Hardy testified that all this information for the 354 members and
extras was within his personal knowledge. (Ex. 50 at 32) 42 Indeed,
Robert Hogan, the business agent for the trade show/movie division
acknowledged the obvious, an individual does not have to have any
particular skills in order to work in the Local's trade show
division. (Ex. 136 at 41)
Even if neutral factors other than seniority did need to
be considered in the referral process, the Local did not have any
objective guidelines governing how individuals were selected for
work referrals. Given the Local's complete discretion in the
selection of individuals to work the most lucrative jobs, the
nepotism and favoritism rampant in the membership of the Local's
trade show/movie division evidences that impermissible
considerations and not special skills were used in making
referrals.
As discussed infra at 114-117, in an apparent reaction to
IRB inquiries regarding the trade show/movie division, the Local
has claimed that it is currently making changes in this division.
For example, according to William Hogan, Jr., the Local is in the
41
For example, there was no list of members who preferred to
work on trade shows or a list of members who preferred to work on
movies. (Ex. 136 at 43-44)
42
William Hogan, Jr. testified, "[a] lot of this is in Mike
Hardy's head." (Ex. 1 at 112)
26

process of developing lists of individuals with particular
qualifications. (Ex. 1 at 112) 43 Hardy testified that he was
recently asked to document some of what you have in your head,
particularly on the movies . . .." (Ex. 50 at 39) This will not
remedy that the members in the trade show/movie division, who have
the best jobs in the Local, have been selected for decades because
of family or social connections."
43
Hardy testified that he created a list of members with
different licenses and gave it to Robert Hogan three or four months
prior to his May 21, 1996 sworn examination. (Ex. 50 at 40) Prior
to Hardy creating the list at that time, Hardy testified that there
were no such documents. (Ex. 50 at 41)
44
These recent Local actions were recommended as a result of
a report of Gerry Miller, Esq., whom, as discussed infra at 114-
117, the Local retained to conduct an investigation of the trade
show/movie division. (Ex. 129) As discussed infra at 114-117, the
investigation behind the Miller report began in approximately
August 1994 and the report was not issued until May 27, 1996. (Ex.
129; Ex. 304) Miller recommended that,
[b]ecause Local 714 may significantly influence the
employment and earnings opportunities of members in the
referral group, it is important that favoritism, as well
as appearance of favoritism, be minimized if not
eliminated altogether.
* * *
[t]o the extent possible, referrals should be made based
on objective, known, and relevant criteria that are put
in writing and posted.
(Ex. 129 at 34-35) In addition, Miller recommended that the Local
conduct a survey to gather information regarding the job
preferences, schedules and qualifications of the trade show/movie
division members. (Ex. 129 at 35) In making this recommendation,
Miller stated, "[c]hief Steward Mike Hardy appears to be able to
keep all this information in his head, but lesser mortals may have
to rely on an information database." (Ex. 129 at 35) The depth of
the favoritism was not analyzed and how the current unjust
membership in the trade show/movie division could be broadened to
include members denied opportunities for decades was not addressed.
27

5. The Lack of Objective Procedures for Allowing Individuals
to Become Members of the Local's Trade Show/Movie
Division
In addition to the failure to have any objective
procedures for referring members to work, the Local does not have
any objective rules governing which individuals will be allowed to
become members of the trade show/movie division. William Hogan,
Jr. makes the ultimate decision regarding who will be permitted to
join the Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 1 at 108-09) His
son, Robert Hogan, and chief steward Hardy are also involved in
such decisions. (Ex. 49 at 17; Ex. 50 at 44-45)
In general, according to Hardy and Robert Hogan, in order
to become a member of the Local's trade show/movie division, an
individual must work as an extra in the division. (Ex. 50 at 43-44;
Ex. 136 at 41) There is no set number of hours or a time period an
individual must work as an extra before being permitted to become
a member. (Ex. 136 at 49-50; Ex. 50 at 43) The only exception to
the requirement that an individual must work as an extra before
becoming a member in the trade show/movie division appears to be
members who had been employed outside the trade show/movie industry
and who transferred into the trade show/movie division. According
to Hardy, only approximately 10-15% of the Local 714 members in the
trade show/movie division became division members after working for
a Local 714 employer outside the trade show/movie division. (Ex. 50
at 22) Even that low percentage appears to be inflated. As noted
supra at 18, fn. 30, only six of the 136 trade show/movie division
members for which information was obtained were members of the
28

Local before beginning to work in the trade show/movie division.
(Ex. 5)
According to Hardy, the Local limited the number of
members permitted to join the Local's trade show/movie division to
the approximate number of individuals who are able to support
themselves through that work. (Ex. 50 at 46-47) Periodically,
William Hogan, Jr., with input from Hardy and Robert Hogan,
selected additional persons to join the division. No announcement
was made that the Local will be accepting new members in the trade
show/movie division. (Ex. 136 at 51)
In response to the question how an individual becomes a
member of the Local's trade show/movie division, Robert Hogan
testified that, "[a]fter working as an extra, they have to ask."
(Ex. 136 at 47) This, of course, did not answer the question as to
how the determination was made for making the extra a member.
Indeed, Local members in the trade show/movie division
testified that they were unaware of what criteria was used to
determine who would be selected to become members after working as
extras. For example, when asked whether he had to meet any
specific criteria in order to join the division, Local 714 trade
show/movie division member Raymond Cassatta responded, "[n]ot that
I know of." (Ex. 23 at 7) Local 714 member Michael Deal, who was
a high school friend of Robert Hogan, testified that he became a
member in 1986 stating, "I was called down to the office. There
was some guys retiring. William, Senior was letting some people in
the union and I was one of them." (Ex. 35 at 3-4) When asked how
29.

an individual is permitted to join Local 714, Local member Joe
Polizzi testified, "I don't have any idea how it works." (Ex. 97 at
5)
In addition, Local 714 member Dean Polachek ("Polachek")
testified that he became a Local 714 member after working as an
extra for approximately sixteen years. (Ex. 96 at 3)
When asked
how he became a Local 714 member, Polachek testified that he wrote
a letter to Local 714 President James M. Hogan, which included a
statement that he was loyal. (Ex. 96 at 6-7) 45
wrote this letter, Polachek testified, ".
get somewhere." (Ex. 96 at 7) 46
When asked why he
you have to ask to
When asked if there were rules
governing who was allowed to join the Local 714 trade show/movie
division, Polachek testified, "[n]ot that I know of. I'm not privy
to that . .." (Ex. 96 at 13) Polachek's experience was
distinctly different from that of Hogan family members who became
part of the division shortly after high school.
When asked about any requirements an individual must meet
in order to become a member of the trade show/movie division,
45
Polachek testified that he did not retain a copy of this
letter. (Ex. 96 at 12) Local 714 President James Hogan testified
that he did not recall receiving such a letter from Polachek. (Ex.
135 at 64) In addition, the Local did not have a copy of any
letter Polachek wrote. (Ex. 165) However, William Hogan, Jr.
testified that he recalled that Polachek told him that he wanted to
be considered for membership when Hogan allowed men to join the
Local. (Ex. 1 at 109-110)
46
Polachek testified that Local 714 member Thomas Kulak "sort
of was like my sponsor" and helped Polachek write the letter
seeking to join Local 714. (Ex. 96 at 7) Polachek testified that
Thomas Kulak suggested that he write the letter to the Local,
"[b]ecause I was around so long and I never asked for anything, so
this way they know that I wanted a card." (Ex. 96 at 10)
3 0

Robert Hogan testified, "Well, I mean they have to have had a good
record while they were there as an extra, they have to be punctual,
be on time, be willing to work the crazy hours, be willing to put
up with the different locations at different times and days." (Ex.
136 at 49) Although Hogan claimed these factors were important, no
records were maintained documenting these qualities. (Ex. 165)
Hardy testified that the factors he considered when participating
in the decision to allow individuals to join the trade show/movie
division were his personal assessment of "punctuality" and the
vague factors of "dependability" and "work ethic". (Ex. 50 at 44)
However, Hardy did not keep any record of which individuals
possessed any of these qualities. (Ex. 165) It is evident that no
guidelines or any objective criteria govern who will be permitted
to become a member of the trade show/movie division. (Ex. 1 at 109;
Ex. 165)
6. Nepotism and Favoritism In the Trade Show/Movie
Division
a. Background
As detailed infra at 51, relatives of William Hogan, Jr.
and friends of the Hogan family dominate the authority positions in
the Local's trade show/movie division.
infra
For example, as detailed
at 39-43, fifty-six percent of the members who have held
authority positions in the trade show industry were relatives or
friends of the Hogan family. (Ex. 4) In addition, in the movie
industry, approximately seventy-two percent of the members who have
held authority positions were relatives or friends of the Hogan
31

family. (Ex. 3)
The sworn examinations of 114 of the 258 members on the
January 1996 Local 714 trade show/movie division membership list
were conducted. 47 Of these, at least eighteen relatives of William
Hogan, Jr. were employed in the Local 714 trade show/movie
division. (Ex. 5) 48 In addition, at least 34 other members in the
Local 714 trade show/movie division began to work in the trade
show/move industry through connections to the Hogan family. (Ex. 5)
As a result, at a minimum, twenty percent of the members in the
Local's trade show/movie division obtained their positions through
ties to the Hogan family. (Ex. 5) 49
William Hogan, Jr.'s relatives who were employed in the
47
The sworn examinations of all the members who held
positions of authority in the trade show/movie division were
conducted. These individuals were identified in a September 21,
1995 letter from Local 714's counsel. (Ex. 168) In addition, the
sworn examinations of the members who joined the Local's trade
show/movie division since January 1993 were also taken.
48 This figure included only William Hogan, Jr.'s relatives
who were on the January 1996 list of trade show/movie division
members who self pay their dues to the Local and work for various
trade show contractors. However, other Hogan relatives worked as
Local 714 members in the trade show industry such as Patrick E.
Hogan, a cousin of William Hogan, Jr., who worked in the warehouse
of trade show contractor GES. (Ex. 54 at 3-4) In approximately
1969, when he was nineteen years old, Patrick E. Hogan joined the
Local through his father, former Local 714 member Joseph E. Hogan.
(Ex. 54 at 3-4, 6; Ex. 300)
49 Through the sworn examinations of 114 of the trade
show/movie division members and the sworn examinations of the
Local's officers, information regarding 136 of the 258 members in
the Local's trade show/movie division was obtained. (Ex. 5) The
twenty percent figure was based upon information known about 136 of
the 258 members of the trade show/movie division. As a result,
this is the minimum percentage of members in the trade show/movie
division who have ties to the Hogan family.
3 2

Local's trade show/movie division included his two sons, William
and James, and five of his nephews: Michael Hogan, Jr., Michael
Vendafreddo, Jr. and Daniel, Kevin and Timothy Maxwell. (Ex. 5)

That all Local members, not only officers' friends and
relatives, should have an equal chance for good work that the Local
controls is not an obscure point. Yet for decades, this Local's
representatives have trampled over members' rights in the rush to
take care of their own. Notably, no recent changes were
recommended or undertaken that would address the institutional
unfairness the Local created in its discriminatory selection for
work in the movies and trade shows. 59

A movie captain's duties included handling the
transportation needs of the movie set, assigning Local 714 members
to drive particular vehicles and keeping the equipment operational.
(Ex. 51 at 9; Ex. 26 at 13; Ex. 63 at 13; Ex. 78 at 15) There are
twenty-two members who have worked as movie captains or cocaptains.
93
Of these twenty-two members, six relatives of William

approximately $50,000 for his Local 714 work. (Ex. 118 at 12)"
In addition to Secretary-Treasurer Hogan's and President
Hogan's six relatives who have held positions of authority in the
movie industry, ten other members who have ties to the Hogan family
also have held positions of authority. (Ex. 3) For example, after
graduating from high school in approximately 1985, Todd Dickison,
who has worked as a movie co-captain, began working in the trade
show and movie industries through his high school friend, Robert
Hogan. (Ex. 37 at 3-4, 21) In 1995, his pay for eight or nine

% Local 714 member Robert Voss testified that he joined
Local 714 in the late 1970's, when he was approximately twenty
years old, after William Hogan, Sr. told him that Local 714
employer Ekco Housewares was hiring. According to Voss, in or
about 1978, he left Ekco Housewares and began working as a Local
714 member in the trade show/movie industry. (Ex. 118 at 3-8) As
discussed supra at 15, Robert Voss's mother, Delores Voss, was a
secretary employed at Local 714 and his father, George Voss, worked
from 1980 to approximately 1989 in the trade show/movie division.
(Ex. 118 at 6-7)

Cangelosi became a member of Local 714's trade show/movie division
in 1985. (Ex. 21 at 3, 8) Cangelosi's 1995 income for his Local
714 work was approximately $40,000. (Ex. 21 at 13)
In sum, of the twenty-two members who held authority
positions in the movie industry, seventy-two percent began working
in the Local's trade show/movie division as a result of ties to the
Hogan family. (Ex. 3)
7. Boscarino's Position as Chief Steward at the Rosemont
Exposition Center
(Ex. 13 at 4) 97
Nick Boscarino ("Boscarino") joined Local 714 in 1971.
In 1978, William Hogan, Sr. appointed Boscarino
the chief steward for Rosemont Exposition Services ("Rosemont").
(Ex. 13 at 18) From 1978 when he was appointed chief steward for
Rosemont until his resignation this May, Boscarino worked at the
Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex. 13 at 19) According to Boscarino,
in 1995 he was paid approximately $100,000 for his work as chief
steward for Rosemont. (Ex. 13 at 22) 98
97
All of his work as a Local 714 member had been in the
Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 13 at 21) Prior to joining
Local 714, Boscarino was employed as a Teamster through another
Local in Chicago for approximately one year as a helper on a truck.
(Ex. 13 at 4-5) From 1971 through 1974, Boscarino worked as a
Local 714 member for various trade show contractors at McCormick
Place including the following Local 714 employers: Freeman, United
Expositions and J&J. From 1974 until 1978, when Hogan, Sr. made
him Rosemont steward, he drove a truck for United Expositions. (Ex.
13 at 21)
98
During his January 24, 1996 sworn examination, Boscarino
testified he never received money from Local 714 except for a $200
Christmas gift. (Ex. 13 at 16, 18) However, Local 714 records
reflected that between September 1986 and August 1988, Boscarino
received $100 each month from Local 714. (Ex. 188) It is unclear
51

Prior to joining Local 714, Boscarino knew William Hogan,
Sr., and his sons, William, Michael and James. (Ex. 13 at 13-14)
Boscarino went to high school with Michael Hogan. (Ex. 13 at 14)
Boscarino, who has known the Hogan family since he was 12 years
old, described himself as a personal friend of Michael Hogan, Sr..
(Ex. 13 at 14) 99 In addition, current Secretary-Treasurer Hogan
testified that he has had a social relationship with Boscarino.
(Ex. 1 at 149) m
As the chief steward for Rosemont, Boscarino reported to
Hardy, the chief steward for the union's trade show/movie division.
(Ex. 13 at 22-23) 101
Boscarino testified that he did not report to
anyone else. (Ex. 13 at 23) 102 Boscarino testified that he
"supervise[s], for Rosemont Expo Services, all the guys in our
what these payments were for. (Ex. 13 at 18-19; Ex. 1 at 81-82)
99
While the Rosemont chief steward, Boscarino was involved in
a business, Show Services, Inc., with Michael Hogan, Sr.. (Ex. 186)
Show Services, Inc. was incorporated on June 30, 1982 with
Boscarino as one of the officers. (Ex. 186) On the annual reports
Show Services filed in 1984 and 1985, Michael Hogan, Sr. and
Boscarino were listed as the officers. (Ex. 186) On the annual
report Show Services filed in 1986, Boscarino was no longer listed
as an officer and on November 1, 1990, Show Services was dissolved
for failure to file an annual report and pay an annual franchise
tax. (Exs. 186 and 187)
100
For example, he testified that Boscarino attended his
wedding and he "probably" attended Boscarino's wedding. (Ex. 1 at
149)
101
The Local 714 business agent for Rosemont is Local 714
Recording Secretary Robert Hogan. (Ex. 136 at 8)
102
As the chief steward, Boscarino also supervised any Local
714 stewards who worked at the Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex. 13
at 23)
52

local." (Ex. 13 at 17) 103 He further testified that if a Local 714
member had a problem with Rosemont, Boscarino would be the first
person the member would go to from the Local. (Ex. 13 at 17)
However, Boscarino testified that he did not file grievances on
behalf of Local 714 members and he did not know who had that
responsibility. (Ex. 13 at 17-18) According to Secretary-Treasurer
Hogan, Local 714 never has filed a grievance against Rosemont. (Ex.
1 at 62)
Boscarino testified that when a trade show came to the
Rosemont Exposition Center, someone from Rosemont informed him how
many individuals were needed to work that show. (Ex. 13 at 30; Ex.
50 at 29) 1 04 Boscarino and Hardy selected who would work. (Ex. 13
at 24) 105 The Local did not have any seniority lists for the trade
show/movie division or for Rosemont. (Ex. 13 at 24; Ex. 165) There
were no objective grounds for making the referral decision and as
described supra at 26-50, impermissible factors were used.
103
Boscarino testified that he worked for Rosemont every day
and had an office provided by the company. (Ex. 13 at 28, 30-31)
As the chief steward at the Rosemont Exposition Center, Boscarino
did not unload trucks, rather, he supervised other Teamsters. (Ex.
13 at 111-112)
104
Boscarino testified that depending upon the trade show,
he worked with one of the following account executives employed at
Rosemont: David Houston, Grant Bailey, Ray Talaber or Bob Langer.
(Ex. 13 at 27) Houston and Bailey are also officers of Rosemont.
(Ex. 202)
105
According to Local 714 member Oscar Glass, who is
Boscarino's father-in-law, Local 714 members were hired to work at
the Rosemont Exposition Center through Boscarino. (Ex. 45 at 4, 8-
9)
53

8. Boscarino Selected his Relatives and Friends for Work for
Rosemont Exposition Services
At least eleven relatives and friends of former Rosemont
chief steward Boscarino are Local 714 members working for Rosemont.
a. Boscarino's Relatives
At least six of Boscarino's relatives are Local 714
members employed in the Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 5)
They worked primarily for Rosemont. (Ex. 45 at 6; Ex. 113 at 21-22;
Ex. 9 at 13) Three of the five Local 714 members chief steward
Hardy identified, in addition to Boscarino, as having supervisory
responsibility at the Rosemont Exposition Center were Boscarino's
relatives. (Ex. 50 at 68) 106
None of Boscarino's relatives were
Local 714 members prior to starting work in the Local's trade
show/movie division.
Local 714 member Oscar Glass, who worked in a supervisory
capacity at Rosemont, is Boscarino's father-in-law. (Ex. 45 at 4;
Ex. 13 at 10; Ex. 50 at 68) According to Boscarino, he and Glass
were the only two Teamsters who worked every day for Rosemont. (Ex.
13 at 30-31) 107
106
In addition to Boscarino, chief steward Hardy identified
Oscar Glass, Michael Hansen, Bruce Talaber, Ronald Comiano and
Frank DeFeo as Local 714 members having supervisory responsibility
at the Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex. 50 at 68) Glass, Hansen
and Talaber are Boscarino's relatives. (Ex. 13 at 8-12; Ex. 113 at
3-5)
107
However, Ronald Comiano, the foreman in the furniture
department for Rosemont, testified that he worked each day for
Rosemont. (Ex. 30 at 15) Comiano is an owner of Table Rentals and
Accessories, a company which rents tables in the trade show
industry. (Ex. 30 at 51-61) Table Rental and Accessories was
incorporated on March 12, 1992. (Ex. 306)
54

Glass testified he became a Local 714 member in the late
1970's through Boscarino and Michael Hogan, Sr.. (Ex. 45 at 3-4) 108
Boscarino appointed Glass the dock foreman for Rosemont
approximately twelve years ago. (Ex. 45 at 6-7) Glass testified
that he was paid $83,000 in 1995. (Ex. 45 at 8) In addition, as
discussed infra at 82-85, Glass, along with Boscarino, is an
officer of OG Services, a company which leased forklifts to
Rosemont, the Local 714 employer. (Ex. 45 at 11-12)
Local member Michael Hansen is Boscarino's step brother.
(Ex. 47 at 7) 109 Hansen, who joined Local 714 in 1974 when he was
approximately twenty-two years old, worked for Rosemont. (Ex. 13 at
8; Ex. 47 at 3-5) Hansen has worked as a steward in the trade show
industry. (Ex. 168) Hardy identified Hansen as one of the members
with supervisory responsibility at the Rosemont Exposition Center.
(Ex. 50 at 68) According to Hansen, in 1995 he was paid
approximately $75,000 for his work as a Local 714 member. (Ex. 47
at 9)
Local 714 member Michael Ayache is married to Boscarino's
first cousin, Marie Ayache. (Ex. 9 at 4-5) u ° Boscarino assisted
108
All of Glass' work as a Local 714 member has been in the
trade show/movie division. (Ex. 45 at 3, 6)
109
Hansen testified that he may have gotten his job through
Boscarino. (Ex. 47 at 4, 9)
110
Marie Ayache, Boscarino's cousin, is Secretary/Director of
O & M Forklift Services ("O & M") and runs the daily operation of
that company. (Ex. 203; Ex. 45 at 22-23) Glass, who is an owner of
O & M, described that company as "a payroll company for the
mechanics" who worked for OG Services, which, as discussed infra at
82-85, is a forklift company Boscarino owns. (Ex. 45 at 22)
55

Michael Ayache to join Local 714 and get work at Rosemont. (Ex. 13
at 11) 111 Ayache was paid $50,000 for his work as a Local 714
member in 1995. (Ex. 9 at 10)
Bruce Talaber, Boscarino's brother-in-law, became a
member of Local 714's trade show division in April 1977. (Ex. 113
at 3-5) 112 According to Talaber, Boscarino assigned him specific
jobs at the Rosemont Exposition Center where Talaber primarily
worked. (Ex. 113 at 21-24) Talaber worked as a steward in the
trade show industry. (Ex. 168) Hardy identified Talaber as one of
the members with supervisory responsibility at the Rosemont
Exposition Center. (Ex. 50 at 68) He was paid $54,000 for his
Local 714 work in 1995. (Ex. 113 at 25)
Boscarino's uncle and cousin, John Wiercinski and Walter
Wiercinski, were both Local members employed in the Local's trade
show division. (Ex. 13 at 10, 12) Walter joined Local 714 in
October 1979 and John joined in June 1995. (Ex. 133)
b. Boscarino's Friends
In addition to six Boscarino relatives being Local 714
trade show division members, at least five other Local 714 trade
show members testified that they began working trade shows as a
result of their prior non-union connections to Boscarino.
111
Prior to joining Local 714 in approximately 1987, Ayache
worked for Boscarino's company, Bomark Cleaning Services, as a
maintenance worker at the Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex. 9 at 4;
Ex. 133)
112
Bruce Talaber is also a third cousin of Ray Talaber, an
account executive at Rosemont. (Ex. 45 at 16)
56

For example, Local 714 member Louis Lomeli obtained work
in trade shows through Boscarino. (Ex. 68 at 4-5) Between 1986 and
1992, Lomeli was a professional boxer and Battle Promotions
("Battle") managed him. (Ex. 68 at 4-5) Boscarino was an officer
of Battle, a company that promoted prize fights. (Ex. 13 at 113-
116; Ex. 68 at 4-5; Ex. 204) Lomeli became a Local 714 member in
July 1988 after John Daddano, another Battle officer, contacted
Boscarino to get Lomeli a job. (Ex. 68 at 4; Ex. 133)
In addition, Local 714 trade show/movie division member
Joseph Aulenta testified he became a Local 714 member in 1994
through his father's ties to Boscarino for whom Aulenta's father is
an insurance agent. (Ex. 8 at 3-7)
Local 714 trade show/movie
division member George Lemke testified that he became a Local
member in 1994 after doing non-union maintenance work for
Boscarino's company, Bomark Cleaning Services at the Rosemont
Exposition Center. (Ex. 65 at 3-4)
As a Local 714 member he
primarily worked at Rosemont and in 1995 was paid approximately
$37,000. (Ex. 65 at 6, 16)
Boscarino's other friends who began to work in the
Local's trade show/movie division included Anthony Lizio and Joseph
Bruno.
After Anthony Lizio closed a delicatessen he owned that had
delivered food to the Rosemont Exposition Center, Lizio joined the
Local through Boscarino. (Ex. 67 at 3-6) 113
Lizio worked primarily
at the Rosemont Exposition Center and in 1995 made $45,000. (Ex. 67
113
During his sworn examination, Lizio testified that in the
1950s he was convicted of truck highjacking, burglary and armed
robbery. (Ex. 67 at 6-9)
57

at 11) Before Joseph Bruno became a Local member in 1983, he
worked as a milk truck driver and was a member of IBT Local 753.
(Ex. 15 at 3, 4) He joined Local 714 through Boscarino whom he met
at a restaurant they both frequented. (Ex. 15 at 3-4) Bruno worked
for Rosemont loading and unloading trucks and was paid
approximately $31,000 in 1995. (Ex. 15 at 6)
9. Trade Show Contract Negotiations
The procedures for negotiating the Local's collective
bargaining agreements in the trade show industry differed from the
manner in which other Local contracts were negotiated. In contrast
to the practice in the majority of the Local's collective
bargaining negotiations (Ex. 138 at 58-61; Ex. 1 at 24; Ex. 136 at
72), no committee of members participated in the collective
bargaining negotiations in the trade show industry. (Ex. 136 at 70;
Ex. 1 at 24) In addition, although other Local contracts were
generally approved through a secret ballot vote, there were no
secret ballot votes on tentative trade show contracts. (Ex. 1 at
24-27; Ex. 136 at 71-72) Given the undisclosed business dealings
between the stewards and relatives of Executive Board members with
these employers as discussed at infra at 63-96, the absence of
these standard practices is disturbing. The difference in
practices is also further evidence that the trade show division was
run as a Hogan family fiefdom within the Local.
On behalf of Local 714, Secretary-Treasurer Hogan, his
son, Robert Hogan and Hardy participated in the last collective
58

argaining negotiations with the trade show contractors. (Ex. 49 at
19-20; Ex. 1 at 21) 1 " Robert Hogan testified that after a
tentative agreement had been negotiated with the trade show
contractors, a meeting was held to explain to the members what was
negotiated. (Ex. 136 at 70-71) However, there were no notices for
such meetings. (Ex. 136 at 71; Ex. 287)
Rather, chief steward
Hardy told the members about the meetings. (Ex. 136 at 71) No
minutes or notes were kept of such meetings. (Ex. 136 at 71; Ex.
301) These were not contract approval meetings." 5 Robert Hogan
admitted that usually outside the trade show industry, secret
ballot votes were taken on the collective bargaining agreements.
(Ex. 136 at 72) 116 In contrast, in the twenty-eight years that
Secretary-Treasurer Hogan has been an officer of the Local, there
have been no secret ballot votes on any tentative collective
bargaining agreement the Local negotiated with the trade show
114
Although chief steward Hardy participated in the contract
negotiations, during his January 1996 sworn examination, Hardy
testified that he had not seen the Local 714 collective bargaining
agreements with trade show contractors Freeman or GES. (Ex. 49 at
23, 45-46) Given the business dealings among Hogan family members
and employers detailed infra at 63-74, the secrecy of the
negotiations and contracts is troubling.
115
When asked whether contract ratification meetings were held
for the trade show division contracts, Secretary-Treasurer Hogan
admitted, "not in the normal sense, no." (Ex. 1 at 24) According
to him, "[n]ormally if it is a meeting we get round [sic] of
applause, hand shakes, thank yous. There has never been a problem
where they [the members] say we want a secret ballot." (Ex. 1 at
25)
116
If Robert Hogan took a secret ballot vote, he would retain
the tally sheet for the period of the contract. However, if no
secret ballot vote was taken he would not retain any documents.
(Ex. 136 at 72-73)
59

contractors. (Ex. 1 at 6, 26) 117
Given the total discretion of the Hogan family and
stewards over hiring and work assignments, it indeed would be
surprising if any member voiced any open disagreement or openly
requested a secret ballot vote. As one member summarized the
process, "[u]sually we just knew that Mike Hardy and Bill, Jr., or
whoever was negotiating the contract, said [sic] they knew what was
best for us, and it's usually what we went by." (Ex. 74 at 13)
10. November 1995 Nomination Meeting
Both the manner in which one became a member of the
Local's trade show/movie division and in which members in that
division were selected for that work with its superior wages forged
a cadre of Local members completely dependent on William Hogan, Jr.
and his appointees for their livelihoods. As to be expected, these
men, who did not even participate in the negotiation of their
contracts or, indeed, vote on them, were the most consistent
attendees at membership meetings to support the officers. (Ex. 1 at
25) Such repayment was to be expected since for every minute of
work, these individuals were dependent for work assignments on the
unguided discretion of the appointed chief steward, who served at
the Secretary-Treasurer's pleasure. 118
117
Hardy testified that he was not aware of an actual vote on
the collective bargaining agreement covering the trade show
workers. (Ex. 49 at 24-25)
118
In his report Miller acknowledged this dependence stating,
" [b] ecause Local 714 may significantly influence the employment and
earnings opportunities of members in the referral group, it is
60

A recent example of the power of this captive group was
shown at the Local's November 1995 nominations meeting where the
room was filled close to capacity with members from the Local's
trade show/movie division. (Ex. 74 at 43) On Sunday, November 5,
1995 the Local 714 nomination meeting for union officers was held
at the union hall at 9:00 a.m.. (Ex. 182) One trade show member
admitted that trade show steward Hardy directed him to be at the
union hall at 6:00 a.m.. (Ex. 74 at 42-43) When asked why he
arrived at the union hall at 6:00 a.m., the member responded,
stating the obvious, "[y]ou tell me. So we're all, so, we're
there, so we fill up the hall, I guess. Because there will be no
seats. Everybody gets there early." (Ex. 74 at 42-43)
According to the sign-in sheets for this meeting, 210
Local members out of a total membership of approximately 10,700
attended the meeting. (Ex. 183) At least 174 of the attendees (or
83% of the members in attendance) were either a member of the
Local's trade/show movie division (160) or a Local employee (14).
(Exs. 183 and 184) 119
In a Local of over 10,000 members where less
than two percent of the members attended, the trade show/movie
important that favoritism, as well as the appearance of favoritism,
be minimized if not eliminated altogether." (Ex. 129 at 34-35)
119
This figure did not include the six members who attended
from the GES warehouse because such members, although working in
the trade show industry, were covered under the GES warehouse
collective bargaining agreement and not the GES trade show
collective bargaining agreement. In addition, the dues for these
members were paid via check-off. If these individuals were
included in the analysis, 86% of the members in attendance at the
November 1995 nomination meeting worked in the trade show industry
or were employed at the Local. (Ex. 184)
6 1

division had 63% of its 258 members in attendance. (Ex. 184)
11. Analysis
Discriminatory or arbitrary operation of a hiring hall
violates the NLRA because through such conduct "the union gives
notice that its favor must be curried, thereby encouraging
membership and unquestioned adherence to its policies." National
Labor Relations Bd. v. International Ass'n of Bridge, Structural &
Ornamental Iron Workers, No. 433, 600 F.2d 770, 777 (9th Cir.
1979), cert. denied, 445 U.S. 915 (1980). Unions operating hiring
halls have a heightened duty of fair dealing because they are
acting in the employer role which forces the individual members to
stand alone against the joint union/employer entity. See
Boilermakers Local No. 374 v. NLRB, 852 F.2d 1353, 1358 (D.C. Cir.
1988); see also, International Union of Operating Engineers Local
406 v. NLRB, 701 F.2d 504, 508 (5th Cir. 1983) (although a union is
not prohibited from operating a hiring hall, it "may not apply
arbitrary or invidious criteria in referring employees to jobs.");
see also Lewis v. Local Union No. 100, 750 F.2d 1368, 1375 n.9 (7th
Cir. 1984) (same). The members are even more estranged from their
representatives when those representatives or their family members
are financially dependent on the employers through non-union
business dealings as is the case in Local 714.
Although Local 714 did not operate an exclusive hiring
hall per se, the Local is the exclusive referrer of individuals to
work in the trade show and movie industries. (Ex. 50 at 20-21; Ex.
6 2

136 at 52) Such power is similar to an "exclusive" hiring hall
arrangement. See Carpenters Local 608, United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America, AFL-CIO, 279 N.L.R.B. 747, 1986
NLRB Lexis 500, at *36-38 (1986), enf'd, 811 F.2d 149 (2d Cir.),
cert. denied, 484 U.S. 817 (1987) (a hiring hall is deemed to exist
where an employer has the contractual right to bring in a certain
number or percentage of employees onto a job); accord, Breininger
v. Sheet Metal Workers Int'l Ass'n Local Union No. 6, 493 U.S. 67,
71 n.1 (1989) ("the word 'exclusive' when used with respect to job
referral systems is a term of art denoting the degree to which
hiring is reserved to the union hiring hall. Hiring is deemed to
be 'exclusive' for example, if the union retains sole authority to
supply workers to the employer up to a designated percentage of the
work force . . . before the employer can hire on his own.")
Moreover, the arbitrary way the Local 714 trade
show/movie division operated conflicts with the IBT Constitution
and the oath all Local officers take.
D. Companies Owned By Hogan Family Members in Authority_
Positions That do Business with Local 714 Employers
1. Movie Industry
a. Introduction
Local 714 has jurisdiction over drivers on movie
productions in the Chicago area. As detailed supra at 43-51,
seventy-two percent of the Local 714 members in positions of
authority in the movie industry had ties to the Hogan family. (Ex.
3)
In the movie industry in Chicago, the Teamster
6 3

transportation coordinators are responsible for obtaining equipment
from rental companies for the movie production companies. (Ex. 57
at 15) The six transportation coordinators, who are Teamster
members, are responsible for obtaining equipment for the movie
production companies to lease. Each of the transportation
coordinators has ties to the Hogan family. The transportation
coordinators frequently arranged for movie production companies
which employ Teamsters to lease equipment from companies Hogan
family members own . 12 °
For example, Movies In Motion currently leases
transportation equipment to movie production companies which have
collective bargaining agreements with Local 714. (Ex. 57 at 19-20)
As detailed infra at 65-70, William Hogan, III, James A. Hogan,
James F. Hogan, President James M. Hogan's three children and
former Local 714 member Salvatore Galioto's mother are the current
owners of Movies in Motion. (Ex. 52 at 65-67) 121
William Hogan, III
is a transportation coordinator and has arranged for movie
120
Transportation coordinator DeAngelo testified that no
written bids were used to select the equipment the movie production
companies leased. (Ex. 33 at 25-26) DeAngelo testified that
written contracts are entered into between the equipment rental
companies and the movie production companies which the
transportation coordinator or production manager signed. (Ex. 33 at
34)
121
When Movies in Motion was first created, Robert Hogan and
Dennis Collucci were owners of the company. (Ex. 136 at 82)
However, when Robert Hogan became a Local business agent, he sold
his share of the company to his brothers, William and James. (Ex.
136 at 88-90) In addition, Dennis Collucci sold his shares of the
company to Local 714 President James M. Hogan's children. (Ex. 135
at 81-84)
64

production companies to use Movies in Motion. (Ex. 57 at 20 122
b. Movies in Motion/SJB Rentals
Movies in Motion, Inc., a company which leases equipment
to movie production companies that employ Teamsters, was
incorporated on April 28, 1987. (Ex. 265) 123
The officers listed on
the 1988 annual report for this company were: William Hogan, III,
Robert Hogan and former Local 714 member Salvatore Galioto. (Ex.
265) 124 At the time this company was incorporated, each of the
listed corporate officers were Local 714 members. (Ex. 133 and 268)
122
Secretary-Treasurer Hogan testified that he has
occasionally spoken to representatives of movie production
companies about the equipment companies his children own. When
asked the circumstances of such discussions, Hogan responded,
(Ex. 1 at 43-44)
More than likely they would raise it and say I understand
your sons own equipment and we could have a discussion on
that. I would tell them right up front, yes, they got
equipment but that's up to you whether you want to use it
or not. It has never been something that had to be. I'm
very protective of that. The Local unions, the primary
function and anybody in business don't let it interfere
with Local union. That is my philosophy. Nobody brings
any problems to me then I don't know where I have the
right to tell people they can't be in business. We had
people leave us, go on to bigger and better things. If
there is something there that I'm not aware of, shame on
me maybe, but it's never been a problem. The equipment
is needed right now. We are busier than we have ever
been.
123
Illinois corporate records showed that the company
incorporated on April 28, 1987 was Movies and Motions and, on July
30, 1987, the corporation changed its name to Movies in Motion
Inc.. (Ex. 265)
124
As discussed infra at 67, after being appointed a Local 714
business agent, Robert Hogan sold his shares of Movies in Motion to
his two brothers, William and James.
65

The initial investors in Movies in Motion included the above
mentioned officers plus James A. Hogan, James F. Hogan and Dennis
Collucci, a friend of President Hogan. (Ex. 136 at 82-83, 85)
James F. Hogan is Secretary-Treasurer Hogan's and
President Hogan's cousin. (Ex. 52 at 8) Salvatore "Sam" Galioto
was a member of Local 714 in the Local's trade show/movie division
from approximately April 1981 to July 1995. (Ex. 268) 125
In or about June and July 1995, Chicago newspapers
reported on a low interest loan the City of Chicago was to grant to
a company, United Studio Center, to build a sound stage in Chicago.
(Ex. 269) 126 The articles reported that United Studio Center
officer William Galioto was the brother-in-law of James Marcello,
whom Chicago papers alleged to be a member of the Chicago La Cosa
Nostra family. (Ex. 269) After these reports, the City of Chicago
cancelled the loan to United Studio Center. (Ex. 269)
In or about July 1995, Local 714 member Salvatore Galioto
took a withdrawal card from Local 714. (Ex. 268) It appears that
125
James F. Hogan and Ann Galioto, Salvatore Galioto's
mother, were owners of Shore Enterprises which was incorporated on
July 22, 1992 and dissolved on December 1, 1993 for failure to file
an annual report and failure to pay an annual franchise tax. (Exs.
266-67; Ex. 52 at 81) According to James F. Hogan, Shore
Enterprises owned star trailers which were sold to Movies in Motion
and Florida Motion Picture Services. (Ex. 52 at 81-82) James F.
Hogan testified that Florida Motion Picture Services, which he
owned along with Ann and William Galioto, Salvatore Galioto's
parents, and James Ewing, a former UPS manager, is involved in the
movie equipment rental business in Florida. (Ex. 52 at 68-71)
Salvatore Galioto is also involved in Florida Motion Picture
Services. (Ex. 106 at 24-28)
126
The officers of United Studio Center were as follows: James
Ewing, James F. Hogan, William and Ann Galioto. (Ex. 270; Ex. 52 at
72-74)
66

Galioto is still involved in the affairs of Movies in Motion. 127
Initially William Hogan, Jr.'s three sons, William,
Robert and James, each invested $10,000 in Movies in Motion. (Ex.
51 at 10; Ex. 57 at 18; Ex. 136 at 85-86) James A. Hogan became an
officer of Movies in Motion when he was eighteen years old. (Ex. 51
at 4, 12; Ex. 265) He claimed he obtained his initial investment
money from his savings and loans from his brother William. (Ex. 51
at 10) Secretary-Treasurer Hogan testified that his wife loaned
their sons, William and Robert, the money to form Movies in Motion.
(Ex. 1 at 114-115)
Robert Hogan became an officer and owner of Movies in
Motion when he was twenty-three years old. (Ex. 136 at 90)
According to Robert Hogan, his mother loaned him a portion of the
$10,000 he initially invested in the company. (Ex. 136 at 85-86)
When Robert Hogan became a Local 714 business agent in January 1990
(Ex. 136 at 5), he sold his shares in Movies in Motion to his
brothers for $25,000. (Ex. 136 at 88) Robert testified that he
sold his shares of Movies in Motion, "[b]ecause my father told me
it would be prudent that I get out because I was going to work for
the union, and he didn't feel that it would be proper for me to own
a company and work for the union." (Ex. 136 at 89-90)
On April 15, 1993, SJB Rentals, Inc. was incorporated and
in 1994 the officers were: James F. Hogan, Salvatore Galioto, James
127
For example, according to Local 714 President Hogan's son,
Brian Hogan, a shareholder in Movies in Motion, Salvatore Galioto
attended all the meetings of Movies in Motion even though his
mother, Ann Galioto, is the person with an interest in the company.
(Ex. 150 at 15)
67

A. Hogan, William Hogan, III and Brian Hogan. (Ex. 271) President
Hogan testified that he believed that Movies in Motion "became" SJB
Rentals. (Ex. 135 at 85)
In approximately 1993, the three children of President
Hogan, one of whom was approximately fourteen years old, became
shareholders of Movies in Motion/SJB Rentals. (Ex. 150 at 10-11) 128
With respect to Movies in Motion/SJB Rentals, President Hogan
testified,
[o]ne of the original partners by the name of Dennis
Colucci was a friend of mine since we were kids, and he
became disenchanted with whoever was running it at the
time and wanted to get out of it and came to me and asked
me if I thought my kids might be interested in taking his
portion of the company.
(Ex. 135 at 81) At the time Collucci had this discussion with
Hogan, Salvatore Galioto was running the day-to-day operation of
Movies in Motion. (Ex. 135 at 81-82)
As a result of his
conversation with Collucci, Hogan's three children, Jennifer, Brian
and Brad, who was then thirteen or fourteen years old, purchased
Collucci's share in Movies in Motion for $75,000. (Ex. 135 at 83-
84; Ex. 150 at 10-11) According to President Hogan, he told
Collucci that his children did not have the money to purchase his
share and as a result, Collucci allowed his children to pay for the
purchase through profits from the company. (Ex. 135 at 84-85) His
children did not have to put up any money in connection with their
purchase of Collucci's share of the company. (Ex. 135 at 85)
128
Brian Hogan, President Hogan's son, testified that his
father asked him about meetings Movies in Motion held and "[f]rom
time to time" asked about the business. (Ex. 150 at 12)
68

In the years 1993 through 1995, President Hogan filed
Form LM-30s with the Department of Labor disclosing that his minor
child, Brad, had an interest in SJB Rentals which did business with
Local 714 employers. (Exs. 272-274; Ex. 135 at 90-92) According to
the LM-30 for 1993, the total sales for SJB Rentals in 1993 were
$693,000. (Ex. 272) According to this Form LM-30, the "[n]et
benefit after tax and purchase price paid during 1993 to minor son
(Brad Hogan) was approximately $9,000, and unpaid purchase price as
of December 31, 1993 was approximately $20,000." (Ex. 272).
According to the Form LM-30 President Hogan filed for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 1994, SJB Rentals' total sales were
$444,235 and the total income his son received was $2,334 that
year. (Ex. 273)
According to the LM-30 filed for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1995, SJB Rentals' total sales were $202,430
and there was a loss of $4,373 to his minor son. (Ex. 274) 129
According to transportation coordinator Armand Paoletti,
Movies in Motion is the only company in the Chicago area that
leases honeywagons. (Ex. 129, Paoletti statement at 2) Outside of
Local 714 movie employers there would be little demand for Movies
in Motions' equipment.
Prior to being employed as a business
agent, Robert Hogan was a transportation coordinator and in that
capacity arranged for movie production companies to rent equipment
from his company, Movies in Motion. (Ex. 136 at 87) As a current
129
According to Brian Hogan, the accountant for Movies in
Motion/SJB Rentals was Leonard Reicin, but he was replaced by
another accountant. (Ex. 150 at 13-14) Leonard Reicin is the Local
714 accountant and prepared the Form LM-30s President Hogan filed.
(Ex. 1 at 131; Ex. 291; Ex. 135 at 90)
69

transportation coordinator, William Hogan, III also arranged for
movie production companies to rent equipment from Movies in Motion.
(Ex. 57 at 20) 13 ° In addition to working as a transportation
coordinator, William Hogan, III currently runs the day-to-day
operation of Movies in Motion/SJB Rentals. (Ex. 57 at 21) 131
DeAngelo also testified that as transportation
coordinator he arranged for the production companies to use
equipment from Movies in Motion. DeAngelo identified William
Hogan, III as the person he dealt with at Movies In Motion. (Ex. 34
at 53) Transportation coordinator Larkowski, who went to high
school with Robert Hogan, testified that he knew that Robert's
brothers, William and James, owned Movies in Motion. (Ex. 63 at 4,
10-11) Larkowski, as a transportation coordinator, leased
equipment for movie production companies from Movies in Motion.
(Ex. 63 at 10-11)
13°
William Hogan, III also testified that as transportation
coordinator he arranged for movie production companies to lease
equipment from Show Biz Chicago. (Ex. 57 at 23-24) To arrange
this, he negotiated with Dawn Hogan, the wife of his uncle Michael
Hogan, Sr.. (Ex. 57 at 24-25; Ex. 53 at 4-6) Show Biz Chicago was
incorporated on May 21, 1984. (Ex. 261) At that time, Michael J.
Nallen, a cousin of William Hogan, Jr., was the registered agent
for this company. (Ex. 261; Appendix B) According to the annual
report Show BIZ Chicago filed in 1995, Dawn Hogan, Michael Hogan,
Sr.'s wife, and Florence Crosoli were the officers of this company.
(Ex. 261; Ex. 53 at 4-6)
131

transportation coordinator he would inform the movie production
companies that he was an officer of Movies In Motion. (Ex. 57 at
24)

James A. Hogan and Local 714 member Mark Majcher ("Majcher"). (Ex.
72 at 14; Ex. 275) 132 This company rents five-ton crew cabs to
movie production companies that employ Local 714 members. (Ex. 72
at 13-14) 133
Majcher runs the day-to-day operation of H & M
Rentals. (Ex. 72 at 21) 134
d. Art's RV Sewer and Septic
James F. Hogan incorporated Art's R.V. Sewer & Septic,
Inc. ("Art's") on March 11, 1992. (Ex. 276)
This company cleans
the septic tanks for honeywagons and star trailers in the movie
industry. (Ex. 136 at 103)
The current owners of Art's include
James F. and James A. Hogan, William Hogan, III, and Ann Galioto,
the mother of former Local 714 member Salvatore Galioto. (Ex. 57 at
25) 135 It also appears that the three children of President Hogan
are part owners of Art's. (Ex. 135 at 86)
William Hogan, III,
132
Majcher began to work as an extra in the Local's trade
show/movie division through his high school friend William Hogan,
III. (Ex. 72 at 3-4, 11)
133
H & M Rentals currently has six such trucks which cost
approximately $40,000.00 each. (Ex. 72 at 13-14)
134
During his February 22, 1996 sworn examination, Majcher
testified that at that time H & M Rentals was leasing four trucks
to 20th Century Fox as result of a call from transportation
coordinator George DiLeonardi. (Ex. 72 at 19-20)
135
According to William Hogan, III, Art's "was kind of a
parallel to Movies in Motion. It's kind of a takeoff company, the
same thing." (Ex. 57 at 25)
71

testified that as a transportation coordinator he arranged for
movie production companies to use Art's. (Ex. 57 at 25)
According to records from the Illinois Secretary of
State, Art's was dissolved on August 2, 1993 for failure to file an
annual report and pay an annual franchise tax. (Ex. 277) However,

owner of Art's, testified that the company was still in existence.
(Ex. 57 at 26) In addition, for the years 1993 through 1995, Local
714 President Hogan filed form LM-30s with the Department of Labor
disclosing the interest his minor child, Brad, had in Art's. (Ex.

Local 714 member Timothy Maxwell, the nephew of the
Local's Secretary-Treasurer and President, is an owner of Chem-Dry
Maxwash ("Chem-Dry"). (Ex. 80 at 7, 31) 137 According to Illinois
corporate records available on NEXIS, Max-Wasch, Inc., an Illinois
corporation, which was incorporated on November 5, 1992, assumed
the name Chem-Dry Maxwash in 1993. (Ex. 282) Chem-Dry cleaned
trailer carpets for movie production companies which employed Local

1994, Michael Maxwell was a Local member. (Ex. 281)
72

714 members. (Ex. 80 at 31-33)
2. Trade Show Industry
a. Exhibition Maintenance
William Hogan, Jr.'s and James M. Hogan's sister,
Winifred Torii, and her husband Dale Torii, currently own
Exhibition Maintenance. (Ex. 153) 138 Since approximately 1970,
Exhibition Maintenance has had an agreement with Local 714 employer
J&J to provide cleaning services for trade shows at McCormick
Place. (Ex. 115 at 21) It also provides cleaning services at Local
714. (Ex. 115 at 9-11)
Exhibition Maintenance was hired in the early 1970s as a
subcontractor to do the cleaning at McCormick Place for J&J. (Ex.
115 at 37-39) J&J is a trade show contractor that has a collective
bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Ex. 158; Ex. 115 at 17, 20)
Exhibition Maintenance does cleaning work for J&J at the auto show
each year at McCormick Place. (Ex. 115 at 40) Exhibition
Maintenance does not usually use union workers. It has
occasionally used unemployed Local 714 trade show members to do

. Trade Show Rentals
President Hogan's and Secretary-Treasurer Hogan's cousin,
James F. Hogan, is the 90% owner and an officer of Trade Show
Rentals, which leases forklifts to trade show contractors having
collective bargaining agreements with Local 714. (Ex. 52 at 20-24;
Ex. 283) 139

officer of Trade Show Rentals. (Ex. 52 at 23) 140
E. Boscarino's Conflicted Position at the Rosemont Exposition
Center
1. Introduction
Boscarino was the Local 714 steward for Rosemont from
approximately 1978 until his resignation on May 30, 1996, the day
scheduled for his second IRB sworn examination."
As detailed
139
James F. Hogan was not identified as a trade show steward
in Sacks' September 1995 letter. (Ex. 168) However, during his
sworn examination, James F. Hogan testified that he has worked as
a steward at McCormick Place. (Ex. 52 at 13)
140
James F. Hogan's other business interests which involved
former Local 714 member Galioto or his mother included: Movies in
Motion, SJB Rentals, Florida Motion Picture Services, United Studio
Center, Art's RV Sewer and Septic, Global Link Communications, HEG
Properties and Shore Enterprises. (Ex. 52 at 62, 69-70, 72-73, 74,
80-82)
141
Boscarino resigned that day and did not testify. (Ex. 126)
74

infra
at 80-89, while the chief steward for Local 714 employer
Rosemont, Boscarino directly, or indirectly through his ten year
old daughter, was part owner of at least four companies which did
business with Rosemont. 142
As a result, there was, at a minimum,
the appearance of a serious conflict of interest between
Boscarino's personal financial interests and his duties as chief
steward to represent the Local 714 members Rosemont employed.
As detailed infra at 114-117, beginning in approximately
August 1994, the Local retained Gerry Miller, Esq. to conduct an
investigation of the Local 714 trade show and movie jurisdiction.
(Ex. 129; Ex. 304) In his May 27, 1996 report, Miller recommended
that, "Rosemont steward Nick Boscarino should be asked to give up
either his financial interests in any trade show equipment leasing
business or his steward's position with Local 714." (Ex. 129 at
34) 143 Based upon this recommendation, according to Secretary-
142
The four companies were Bomark Cleaning Services; OG
Services, a forklift and scooter rental company; Angles on Design,
a furniture rental company, and Premier Fuel and Cartage.
143
As detailed infra at 114-117, this recommendation was based
upon the following findings in the Miller report:
the dual and potentially conflicting positions held by
Nick Boscarino are troublesome, particularly in light of
the allegations in MCM Partners. Because Mr. Boscarino
is the owner and/or manager of several businesses that
sell to trade show contractors -- including his immediate
employer Rosemont Exposition Services -- that negotiate
collective bargaining agreements with Local 714, his
steward's position with the Local Union gives rise to the
possibility that otherwise legitimate union pressures may
be used in support of personal business interests.
Furthermore, because as union steward he assigns members
to operate equipment that the employer leases either from
his own firm or that of a competitor, Mr. Boscarino is in
a position to take actions as a union referral official
75

Treasurer Hogan, he told Boscarino that, effective July 1, 1996, he
would no longer be the chief steward for Rosemont. (Ex. 1 at 77) 1 "
that directly impact the business interests of an
equipment lessor, as one may conjecture from the alleged
forklift ramming incident at McCormick Place. Although
we have seen no evidence that Mr. Boscarino has actually
engaged in misconduct of either type, the potential for
conflict of interest clearly appears to exist between the
steward's responsibilities and those of an equipment
lessor in these circumstances, and we will make a
concluding recommendation that the Local Union take
appropriate action in this regard.
(Ex. 129 at 18-19) The reference to MCM Partners concerns a
lawsuit a forklift company, MCM Partners, filed against Boscarino,
OG Services, William Hogan, Jr., Michael Hardy and others alleging
that they engaged in a conspiracy to maintain OG Services' position
as the only supplier of forklifts at McCormick Place. (Ex. 185)
The "forklift ramming incident" appears to refer to an allegation
in the complaint that the defendants caused a forklift MCM supplied
at McCormick Place to be intentionally damaged by another forklift.
(Ex. 185 at paras 35-41)
144
William Hogan, Jr. testified,
At this point now I am concerned and I have had a couple
of conversations with Nick subsequent to this
investigation and we've had people, we've had attorneys
doing different things investigating all of this now.
* * *
Nobody has come forward and said something is illegal.
Nobody has said they were muscled or any kind of pressure
to do anything and that the entries [sic] are very
proper. It is run properly, it is competitive, but no
negatives.
But at this point it is becoming a problem apparently and
I've had some conversations with Nick and Nick is going
to be removed as a steward as a result of all of this.
As I said before anything that starts to bring the union
into focus, even the perception of impropriety and we
will move against that. Now Nick has become [sic] focal
point for some reason and there is this cloud hanging.
over him. Now where do his interest lay? His interests
have to lay with the union first. I've informed him he
is going to need to be removed.
76

On May 30, 1996, the date his second IRB sworn examination was
scheduled, apparently to avoid testifying, Boscarino resigned his
Local membership and his position as chief steward for Rosemont
effective immediately. (Ex. 126)
2. Rosemont Exposition Services
In 1978, Local 714's then principal officer, William
Hogan, Sr., appointed Boscarino the chief steward for Rosemont.
(Ex. 13 at 18) Rosemont is the exclusive trade show contractor for
trade shows at the Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex. 13 at 29; Ex.
45 at 9) 145 Local 714 has had a collective bargaining agreement
with Rosemont since the company's inception. (Ex. 1 at 88)
discussed infra at 78-80, for at least some period while the Local
had a collective bargaining agreement with Rosemont, Michael Hogan,
Sr., had an ownership interest in Rosemont. (Ex. 135 at 98) 146
According to Illinois corporate records, Rosemont was
incorporated on December 11, 1979 and the attorney for Local 714
since at least 1965, Marvin Sacks (Ex. 293), was the registered
agent. (Ex. 190) From 1980 to 1983, Michael Hogan, James J. Roche
and William Smith were publicly identified as the officers of
Rosemont Exposition Services. (Ex. 190)
(Ex. 1 at 75-76)
145
The Rosemont Exposition Center, also known as the O'Hare
Exposition Center, opened in 1975. (Ex. 189)
146
In addition, for at least a brief period, James F. Hogan,
a cousin of William Hogan, Jr., was an officer of Local 714
employer Rosemont. (Ex. 190)
77

As discussed supra
at 21-22, Michael Hogan, Sr., was a
Local 714 member between October 1968 and 1979. (Ex. 164) Between
approximately the mid-1970's and 1979, he was the chief steward in
the Local 714 trade show/movie division. (Ex. 135 at 128 and Ex. 49
at 11)
He may have left his position as chief steward in the
147
8)
Local's trade show/movie division to form Rosemont. (Ex. 135 at 95-
99; Ex. 50 at
The annual report Rosemont filed in 1984 showed James F.
Hogan as Secretary and Treasurer and Michael Hogan as President.
(Ex. 190) 148 In May 1985, the name of Rosemont changed to MPH
Enterprises, Inc. with Michael P. and James F. Hogan as the
corporate officers. (Ex. 192) 149
Local 714 attorney Marvin Sacks
remained the registered agent for Rosemont until 1985 when its name
was changed to MPH Enterprises. (Ex. 190) 15 ° Despite repeated
public filings to the contrary, during his sworn examination James
F. Hogan, represented by Sacks, denied he was ever an officer or
14'
In addition to being an officer of Rosemont Exposition
Services, Michael Hogan, Sr. has also been an officer of Show BIZ
Chicago which, as discussed supra at 70 fn. 130, does business with
movie production companies that employ Teamsters. (Ex. 191)
148
As discussed supra at 74, in addition to being an officer
of Rosemont, James F. Hogan has also been an officer Trade Show
Rentals, a forklift rental company which currently does business
with Local 714 employers Freeman and GES. (Ex. 52 at 20-24)
Furthermore, as discussed supra at 65-72, James F. Hogan is an
owner of at least two companies which do business with movie
production companies which employ Teamsters.
149
MPH Enterprises was dissolved in 1987 for failure to file
an annual report and to pay an annual franchise tax. (Exs. 193 and
194)
150
This name change was effective May 17, 1985. (Ex. 192)
78

202) 154 According to President Hogan, his and the current
owner of Rosemont. (Ex. 52 at 5) 151
On the same date that Rosemont, which incorporated in
1979, changed its name to MPH Enterprises, a new Rosemont
("Rosemont II") was incorporated. On the 1987 annual report
Rosemont II filed, David Houston, Grant Bailey, Mark Stephens,
Donald Storino and Donald Schaid were listed as the officers. (Ex.
195) 152 On January 19, 1990, Rosemont II changed its name to DHGB,
Ltd. with Houston and Bailey as the officers. (Ex. 196) DHGB, Ltd
was dissolved on October 1, 1990 for failure to file an annual
report and pay an annual franchise tax. (Ex. 198)
On January 19, 1990, the same date that Rosemont II
changed its name to DHGB, Ltd, O'Hare Exposition Services,
incorporated on December 29, 1988 (Ex. 199), changed its name to
Rosemont ("Rosemont III") with Houston and Bailey as the officers.
(Ex. 200) 153
Rosemont III is still in existence and has a current
collective bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Exs. 156 and
Secretary-Treasurer's brother, Michael Hogan, Sr., had an ownership
151
In fact, James F. Hogan testified that if the annual report
Rosemont filed in 1984 listed him as an officer, that report would
be incorrect. (Ex. 52 at 78)
152
As discussed infra at 80, Mark Stephens is Boscarino's
current partner in Bomark Cleaning Services. (Ex. 197)
153
David Houston had been the President and registered agent
of O'Hare Exposition Services, Inc.. (Ex. 199)
154
The officers on the latest annual report Rosemont filed
were: David Houston, Grant Bailey and Donald Schaid. (Ex. 202)
79

interest in Rosemont while Local 714 had a collective bargaining
agreement with that company but that such interest ended between
eight and ten years ago. (Ex. 135 at 95-99) 155
However, according
to a May 27, 1990 Chicago Tribune article regarding the city of
Rosemont, Michael Hogan retained a 20 percent interest in Rosemont
Exposition Services in 1990. (Ex. 201) 156
3. Boscarino's Companies that Do Business with Local 714
Employer Rosemont Exposition Services
Boscarino owned interests in several companies dependent
upon Rosemont and other Local 714 employers for their financial
success.
His ownership interests were not disclosed to the
members.
a. Bomark Cleaning Service
Boscarino acknowledged that he is an owner and President
of Bomark Cleaning Services ("Bomark").
His partner in that
company is Mark Stephens. (Ex. 13 at 27, 94-95) 157
Bomark was
incorporated on January 20, 1981. (Ex. 197) Boscarino and Stephens
are the officers. (Ex. 197) Between 1981 and approximately 1989,
Local 714's attorney Sacks was the registered agent for Bomark.
155
At that time, Michael Hogan's father would have been the
Local's Secretary-Treasurer and his two brothers were Executive
Board members.
156
The three current Hogan Board members each denied having
read this article. (Ex. 135 at 97; Ex. 136 at 92; Ex. 1 at 89)
157
According to annual reports of Rosemont between 1987 and
1989, Mark Stephens was an officer of Rosemont in those years. (Ex.
195) Boscarino testified that between eight and ten years ago,
Stephens worked for Rosemont and thus was part of management of a
Local 714 employer. (Ex. 13 at 27-28)
80

(Ex. 197) 158 Boscarino described Bomark's business as follows:
"[c]leans office buildings; trashing, which is big building
cleaning after shows; and building cleaning; booth cleaning." (Ex.
13 at 95) Bomark performed cleaning services, such as booth
cleaning, exhibit cleaning and possibly office cleaning, for
Rosemont. (Ex. 13 at 96) 159
Glass testified that he was not aware
of any other company providing cleaning services to Rosemont. (Ex.
45 at 13-14) 160
Bomark had approximately 50 employees all of whom were
158
Bomark's annual report filed in 1990 listed the registered
agent as Donald Storino. (Ex. 197)
159
According to a May 27, 1990 newspaper article in the
Chicago Tribune, in or about 1984, Bomark began doing cleaning
services for Rosemont. (Ex. 201) According to this newspaper
report, this work had been performed by O'Hare Exposition
Maintenance ("O'Hare") which was incorporated on December 30, 1976
with Marvin Sacks was the registered agent. (Ex. 205) Hogan
relatives, Michael Hogan, Dale Torii and Michael J. Nallen, were
each officers of this company. (Ex. 205 and Appendices A and B)
Between at least 1977 and 1978, Michael Hogan and Torii were
officers of O'Hare and were both Local 714 members. (Ex. 205, 133
and 164) Between at least 1980 and 1985, Michael Hogan and Michael
Nallen were officers of O'Hare. (Ex. 205) During this period,
Nallen was a Local 714 member. (Ex. 288) O'Hare was dissolved on
May 1, 1987 for failure to file an annual report. (Ex. 206)
Local 714 member Vincent Siciliano testified that he
worked for O'Hare from 1979 until approximately 1986 when the
company went out of business. (Ex. 105 at 3-4) When he worked at
O'Hare he was a member of IBT Local 727. (Ex. 105 at 3-4)
160
Local 714 member George Lemke testified that he worked for
Bomark prior to becoming a Local 714 member. (Ex. 65 at 4) Lemke
stated that when he worked for Bomark he did not work anywhere
other than the Rosemont Exposition Center where he did cleaning for
Rosemont. (Ex. 65 at 17-18) Lemke was not aware of Bomark
providing cleaning services for any company other than Rosemont.
(Ex. 65 at 17-18)
81

non-union. (Ex. 13 at 95-96) In addition, as detailed infra at 92-
96, during trade shows Bomark employees handled the empty crates
for Rosemont. As discussed infra at 92-96, conveniently for
Boscarino, this work was specifically excluded from the Local 714
collective bargaining agreement with Rosemont and the other trade
show contractors. (Exs. 155-158)
b. OG Services
Boscarino is currently the President of OG Services, a
forklift and scooter rental company. (Ex. 13 at 85-86) 161
Boscarino's father-in-law, Glass, is also an officer of OG
Services. (Ex. 13 at 86) Boscarino and his ten year old daughter
Nicole are the owners of OG Services which does business at the
Rosemont Exposition Center and at McCormick Place. (Ex. 13 at 86-
87, 99) It leases equipment to the following companies which
employ Local 714 members: Rosemont, Freeman, GES and J&J. (Ex. 13
at 86-87; Ex. 45 at 14)
OG Services was incorporated on October 23, 1978 with
Oscar Glass as the sole incorporator. (Ex. 207) Local 714
member
Michael Hansen, Boscarino's step brother, was an officer of OG
Services in 1979 and 1980. (Ex. 207) Subsequent filings in 1982
and 1983 added Sherri and Nick Boscarino as officers. (Ex. 207) 162
11)
161
OG Services also leases ramps to load trucks. (Ex. 34 at
162
The corporation was dissolved on March 2, 1992 for failure
to file an annual report or pay an annual franchise tax and
reinstated on June 3, 1992 with Glass and Boscarino as the officers
of record. (Ex. 208)
82

The most recent annual report for OG Services filed in September
1994, listed Glass and Boscarino as the company officers. (Ex. 207)
OG Services shares an office with Bomark. (Ex. 45 at 12-13)
OG Services owns 200 forklifts, 18 to 20 flatbed scooters
and approximately 20 Cushman scooters, on which the show managers
and others ride. (Ex. 45 at 12, 18-19) Boscarino runs the day to
day operation of OG Services. He deals with the account executives
at Rosemont who order the forklifts from OG Services. (Ex. 45 at
12, 15) When asked whether other companies provided forklifts to
Rosemont, Glass responded, "If Nick doesn't have enough, he will
call other companies." (Ex. 45 at 17)
On or about April 21, 1992, a forklift company, MCM
Partners ("MCM") filed a complaint and a motion for a preliminary
injunction against Boscarino, OG Services, William Hogan, Jr.,
Michael Hardy and others alleging in essence that Boscarino
conspired with Hogan and Hardy to maintain OG Services' position as
the only supplier of forklifts at McCormick Place and prevented MCM
from leasing forklifts to trade show contractors at McCormick
Place. (Ex. 185) For example, the complaint alleged that Boscarino
and William Hogan told employees of trade show contractor Andrews-
Bartlett 163 that unless that company stopped doing business with
MCM, "Boscarino and Bill Hogan would cause the Teamsters to take
various job actions including but not limited to "wild cat"
strikes." (Ex. 185 at para 50) Ultimately, this suit was settled
163
Local 714 had a collective bargaining agreement with
Andrews Bartlett. (Ex. 210) In approximately 1994, GES purchased
Andrews Bartlett. (Ex. 105 at 9)
83

and dismissed. MCM Partners v. Boscarino, 1993 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
10671 (August 2, 1993); (Ex. 309) 1
On August 21, 1992, MCM filed a second complaint against
Boscarino, OG Services, trade show contractors Andrews-Bartlett &
Associates and Freeman Decorating and others. (Exs. 209, 211) This
complaint alleged that, "A-B and FDC decided to deal exclusively
with OG at McCormick Place only in response to threats of labor
disruption and damage to property made by Hogan, Boscarino, or
others on behalf of 0G." MCM Partners v. Andrews-Bartlett &
Associates, 62 F.3d 967, 972-73 (7th Cir. 1995)
On or about November 18, 1992, MCM dismissed both
Boscarino and OG Services from the second case. (Ex. 211 at 9) On
February 16, 1994, the district court dismissed the complaint
against the other defendants finding that "MCM's prosecution of
this suit after dismissing OG and Boscarino left a racketeering
count with no racketeer and an antitrust suit with no monopoly."
MCM v. Andrews Bartlett, 1994 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1824 * 31 (February
16, 1994) However, on August 11, 1995, the Court of Appeals for
the Seventh Circuit reversed the dismissal and remanded the case.
MCM Partners v. Andrews-Bartlett & Associates, 62 F.3d 967 (7th
164
After notifying the district court on April 24, 1992 that
an oral settlement had been reached, the parties were unable to
reduce the settlement to writing. On August 27, 1993, the district
court entered an order directing that MCM was bound by the
settlement and dismissing the case. MCM Partners v. Boscarino, 1993
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 10671 (August 2, 1993) and (Ex. 309)
84

Cir. 1995) This case is still pending. 165
On January 26, 1994, NSB Equipment Rentals Corporation
("NSB Rentals") was incorporated with Boscarino as the registered
agent. (Ex. 212) 166
On March 15, 1994, NSB Rentals changed its name
to O.G. Service Corporation. (Ex. 213) On the same date, March 15,
1994, OG Services, which had been incorporated in 1978, changed its
name to NSB Equipment Rentals. (Exs. 207 and 214) 167
Boscarino
testified this name change was at the suggestion of Irving
Mangurten, the corporation's accountant, "for accounting purposes."
(Ex. 13 at 93-94) Irving Mangurten is an accountant with Reicin,
Pollack and Associates, the accounting firm for Local 714. (Ex. 1
at 131; Ex. 291) On a form filed with the Illinois Secretary of
State on June 3, 1992, the registered office for OG Services was
listed as "c/o Reicin, Pollack & Co., Ltd.. (Ex. 208) c.
Angles
165 With respect to the MCM suit, William Hogan, Jr. testified,
(Ex. 1 at 67)
At this point I'm very confused on what the MCM case is
all about. I gave a deposition and I read it recently.
I just got it recently and looked at it. There were so
many things I was uncomfortable with. I got attorneys
from my companies asking about union business I felt was
none of their business. I really don't know what that
was all about, that entire case. From my understanding
from my attorneys that they reviewed the deposition there
has never been implication to me at all yet I'm up to it,
but I don't understand why I'm there or what that entire
thing is about. I don't know if somebody is trying to
dirty me up or what sinister moves are behind the effort
in this case.
166
NSB are the initials of Nick Sam Boscarino. (Ex. 13 at 4)
167
When asked what type of company NSB Equipment was, Glass
testified, "I think it is strictly an accounting function right
now." (Ex. 45 at 21)
85

on Design
Another Boscarino company, Angles On Design ("Angles"),
170
216)
was incorporated on May 26, 1987 with Christine Skrak and Boscarino
as the corporate officers. (Ex. 215) Boscarino testified that he
owns between 65% and 70% of Angles, a furniture rental company
which does business in the trade show industry. (Ex. 13 at 98-
99) 168
In addition, Boscarino's ten year old daughter, Nicole,
owns approximately 10% of Angles with Kathy Skrak owning the rest.
(Ex. 13 at 99) Boscarino testified that Kathy Skrak, Christine's
sister, runs the day to day operation of Angles and is also an
officer of the company. (Ex. 13 at 98, 100) 169
Boscarino explained
that "somebody" whom he could not identify introduced Christine
Skrak to him and "she came to see me about getting into this
business." (Ex. 13 at 98-99)
Angles supplies furniture for trade
shows to Rosemont. (Ex. 13 at 99; Ex. 65 at 7)
Boscarino's
interest in Angles was not disclosed to the members. (Ex. 1 at 74-
75; Ex. 226) Local 714 also did business with Angles. (Ex.
d. Premier Fuel and Cartage
Boscarino had an indirect ownership in Premier Fuel and
168 According to Boscarino, in addition to doing business in
Illinois, Angles also does business in the trade show industries in
Las Vegas and New York. (Ex. 13 at 101)
169
The annual reports Angles filed did not list Kathy Skrak
as an officer. (Ex. 215) M. Christine Skrak was listed as an
officer of that company. (Ex. 215)
170
This is another example of the Local doing business with
companies run by insiders. See, supra at 73.
86

Cartage Service, Inc. ("Premier").
The company, incorporated on
December 2, 1993, had transportation coordinator Richard DeAngelo,
William Daddano, III and Boscarino's minor daughter, Nicole, as the
original investors. (Ex. 217; Ex. 34 at 13-16) 171
DeAngelo
("DeAngelo") ran the day-to-day operation of Premier. He has been
a
Local 714 member since approximately 1979 and has been a
transportation coordinator for the past 13 years. (Ex. 32 at 7; Ex.
136 at 37; Ex. 133) Since 1994, Premier has had a collective
bargaining agreement with Local 714 and the business agent for
Premier has been Robert Hogan. (Ex. 34 at 28, 33; Ex. 218)
Premier was specifically formed to provide gas to trade
show contractors including the following Local 714 employers:
Rosemont, Freeman, GES and Badger Exposition Services. (Ex. 34 at
12, 16-19) Apparently Freeman, GES and Rosemont do not obtain gas
from any source other than Premier. (Ex. 34 at 17-18) 172
Premier, which owns ten trucks and thirty trailers, also
did carting work for companies having collective bargaining
agreements with Local 714 including: Freeman, GES and Badger. (Ex.
33 at 41-43) 173 Moreover, when he worked as a transportation
coordinator for a movie, DeAngelo arranged for Premier to provide
171
Richard DeAngelo testified that Nicole Boscarino has a one
third ownership interest in Premier. (Ex. 34 at 16)
172
Local 714 member George Lemke, who usually worked for
Rosemont, testified that he believed that Premier supplied all the
gasoline for the forklifts at the Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex.
65 at 6, 27)
173
Premier also did carting for Boscarino's company, OG
Services. (Ex. 34 at 24)
87

253) 175 According to Robert Hogan, Premier "adopted" the J&J
gas to the movie production companies. (Ex. 34 at 20)
DeAngelo negotiated the Premier collective bargaining
agreement with Robert Hogan in 1994. (Ex. 33 at 38-39) 174 It
appears that members of the Local's Executive Board were not aware
that the Local entered into a collective bargaining agreement with
a member of the Local and a company in which the Rosemont chief
steward through his minor child had an ownership interest. (Ex.
Motors collective bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Ex. 136 at
32) 176 However, in a comparison of the current collective
bargaining agreements in effect for J&J Motors and Premier, the
hourly rate Premier was required to pay its employees was less than
174
Although Premier had a contract with Local 714, DeAngelo
testified "[w]e don't really have a shop steward." (Ex. 34 at 33)
According to DeAngelo there were approximately ten Local 714
members employed at Premier. (Ex. 33 at 39) Two Local 714 members
employed at Premier, Jeffrey Rizzi and Jason Richko, DeAngelo's
nephew, testified that they were unaware of any shop steward or
business agent for Premier. (Ex. 263 at 3, 18; Ex. 264 at 3, 5-6,
12) In addition, Robert Hogan testified that he never filed a
grievance on behalf of any of the members at Premier. (Ex. 136 at
34)
175
For example, Vice President Arrington and Trustee Lee
testified that they were not aware of Local 714 having any
collective bargaining agreement with any company a Local 714 member
owned. (Ex. 137 at 35; Ex. 139 at 15) Recording Secretary Robert
Hogan testified that there was no discussion at any Executive Board
meeting about the Local entering into a collective bargaining
agreement with a company a Local member owned. (Ex. 136 at 32-33)
Moreover, chief steward and Trustee Hardy testified that while he
knew Premier provided fuel for the forklifts and other equipment
used at McCormick Place, he did not know who owned Premier and had
not heard that DeAngelo was an owner of Premier. (Ex. 50 at 19-20)
176
DeAngelo described the Premier contract as, "[b]asically
it was the same thing that J&J Motor Service had." (Ex. 34 at 29)
88

the J&J Motors hourly rate and Premier's employer pension fund
contributions were less than the J&J Motors employer contributions.
(Exs. 218, 254 and 292) 177
In April 1996, the Central States Pension Fund filed a
lawsuit against Premier alleging that since approximately November
1995, Premier failed to pay approximately $7,500 in required
contributions on behalf of its employees to the Central States
Pension Fund. (Ex. 262) 178
In addition to failing to make pension
fund contributions on behalf of its employees, according to Local
President and Health Fund Trustee James M. Hogan, Premier failed to
make contributions to the Local 714 Health and Welfare Fund on
behalf of its employees. (Ex. 135 at 59) 179
177
The current Premier collective bargaining agreement is
effective from February 1994 through January 1997. (Ex. 218) The
current J&J Motors contract is effective from May 1994 through
April 1997. (Ex. 254) The hourly rate Premier was required to pay
its employees was .30 per hour less than the J&J Motors rate in
1994; .40 per hour less than the J&J Motors rate in 1995 and .55
per hour less than the J&J Motors rate in 1996. (Exs. 218, 254 and
292) The weekly employer pension fund contributions under the
Premier contract were $10.00 per week less then the J&J Motors
contributions in 1994; $14.00 per week less then the J&J Motors
contributions in 1995 and $6.00 per week less then the J&J Motors
contributions in 1996. (Exs. 218, 254 and 292) In addition, the
mileage rates and expense allowances Premier was required to pay
its employees is less than those J&J Motors must pay its employees.
(Exs. 218, 254 and 292)
178
DeAngelo testified that after the Central States Pension
Fund filed the suit against Premier, he paid $12,000 to the Central
States Pension Fund on behalf of Premier. (Ex. 34 at 47-49)
DeAngelo testified that he believed that the suit the Central
States Pension Fund filed was "dropped." (Ex. 34 at 49)
179
During his May 30, 1996 sworn examination, DeAngelo
testified that within the last three weeks he paid approximately
$10,000 in back payments to the Local 714 Health Fund. (Ex. 34 at
50) During his sworn examination, DeAngelo testified that he
believed that Premier was approximately two months behind in
89

e. American Trade Show Services
Boscarino is also an officer of American Trade Show
Services ("ATSS") which leases forklifts and aerial lifts to trade
show contractors at McCormick Place that have collective bargaining
agreements with Local 714. (Ex. 13 at 47-49) ATSS was incorporated
on May 15, 1992 with Boscarino as the registered agent. (Ex.
219) 180 The owners of ATSS include: Boscarino, William Daddano,
Jr., William Daddano, III, Louis Daddano, John Daddano and Don
Stephens. (Ex. 13 at 47-48) 181
payments to the Local 714 Health Fund. (Ex. 34 at 50)
no According to Boscarino, a prior company he was involved
with, Eastern Services, Inc., changed its name to American Trade
Show Services "for tax or accounting purposes." (Ex. 13 at 100)
Eastern Services was incorporated on September 19, 1986. (Ex. 220)
The annual reports for Eastern Services for the years 1987 through
1991, reflected that the officers of the company were: Boscarino,
William Daddano III, Louis Daddano and Donald E. Stephens. (Ex.
220) Eastern Services was dissolved as an Illinois corporation on
February 1, 1993 for failure to file an annual report and pay an
annual franchise tax. (Ex. 221)
181
Boscarino testified that he believed that American Trade
Show Services changed its name to American Show Services at the
suggestion of his accountant, Irving Mangurten, for tax and
accounting purposes. (Ex. 13 at 121-122) On February 22, 1995,
American Show Services was incorporated with Boscarino as the
registered agent. (Ex. 222) The address given for this company was
Suite 801 at 9501 West Devon in Rosemont, Illinois. (Ex. 222)
Although Boscarino testified that he believed that
American Trade Show Services became American Show Services, it
appears that American Trade Show Services was still in existence
after American Show Services was incorporated in February 1995.
For example, in May 1996 American Trade Show Services filed an
annual report. (Ex. 223) In addition, subsequent to the creation
of American Show Services in February 1995, in July 1995, American
Trade Show Services filed a form with the Illinois Secretary of
State changing its registered office to suite 703 at 9501 West
Devon from suite 801 at the same address. (Ex. 224) As noted, the
registered address for American Show Services is suite 801 at the
same location. (Ex. 222) In addition, there does not appear to be
90

ATSS leases equipment to Freeman, GES and J&J in Chicago.
(Ex. 13 at 51-53) Each of these companies has a collective
bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Exs. 155, 157-58)
addition to doing business with Local 714 employers in Illinois,
ATSS provided forklifts to Freeman for use at the Jacob Javits
Convention Center in New York, New York. (Ex. 13 at 55-56) 182
4. Summary
While the Local 714 chief steward for Rosemont, Boscarino
owned companies which did business with Rosemont. Boscarino
created serious conflicts of interest. Boscarino selected which
members worked for Rosemont. By having several ongoing business
interests dependent on Rosemont and other Local 714 employers,
Boscarino had an economic interest in maintaining a good
relationship with the companies. Rosemont might not favor members
who aggressively pursued their contractual rights. Boscarino, a
union appointee who acknowledged he would be the first union
contact for a member with a problem, was unaware of how a member
any record filed with the Illinois Secretary of State changing the
name American Trade Show Services to American Show Services.
182
During his January 1996 sworn examination, Boscarino
testified that ATSS owned 30 forklifts which were in use at the
Javits Center in New York and 13 aerial lifts which were in use in
Chicago at that time. (Ex. 13 at 55-56)
According to Boscarino, Bob Goldman handled the operation
of ATSS in New York. (Ex. 13 at 50-51) According to New York
corporate records available on Nexis, there was no New York
corporation, American Trade Show Services. However, there was an
active New York corporation, Eastern Rentals, Inc. and the person
listed at the process address for that company was Robert Goldman.
(Ex. 225)
91

could file a grievance against Rosemont.
Although the Secretary-Treasurer knew of some of
Boscarino's conflicts (Ex. 1 at 65-70, 74-75), it does not appear
he, Boscarino, or any other officer told the members in the trade
show division that Boscarino held all these potentially conflicting
interests. (Ex. 226) There was never any discussion at any meeting
of the trade show members about Boscarino's interests in companies
that did business with employers of Teamsters. (Ex. 1 at 75; Ex.
226)
In addition to former Rosemont chief steward Boscarino,
at least six other Local 714 members who have held positions of
authority in the trade show/movie industries also have business
interests dependent on companies which employ Local 714 members.
The five members with such conflicting interests are: William
Hogan, III, James A. Hogan, James F. Hogan, Timothy Maxwell, Dale
Torii and Richard DeAngelo. Five of these members are Hogan
relatives. As a result, these members occupy positions with at
least the appearance of serious conflicts of interests.
F. Boscarino and a Hogan Relative Supplied Non-Union Labor
to Local 714 Employers in the Trade Show Industry_
1. Non-Union Workers who Handled Empty Crates
In the trade show industry, crates are used to ship
booths and other items to McCormick Place or other trade show
sites. (Ex. 54 at 23-24) During trade shows, the empty crates are
stored and when the show is finished the empty crates are returned
to be packed for shipment. (Ex. 74 at 24) As a member explained,
92

54-56) 184 Boscarino's company, Bomark, provided the non-union
"[a]ll the freight that comes into the shows in crates and boxes or
cartons, all that [sic] empty crates, cartons and whatever, has to
be taken out after the show is over." (Ex. 74 at 23) The Local's
current collective bargaining agreements with the trade show
contractors specifically exclude from coverage the workers who
handled moving and storing the empty crates at the trade shows.
(Exs. 155-58) Article XIV, Section 7 of the Freeman, Rosemont, GES
and J&J collective bargaining agreements provides that "[e]mployees
engaged in handling and storage of crates shall not be classified
for the duration of this Agreement." (Exs. 155-58) 183 The workers
who handled empty crates were not members of any union. (Ex. 136 at
workers to handle the empty crates at the Rosemont Exposition
Center. (Ex. 30 at 37-38; Ex. 15 at 14-15) In addition, it appears
that William Hogan, Jr.'s nephew and business agent Robert Hogan's
cousin, Ronald Maxwell, Jr., is a part owner of Empties, Inc.,
183
According to Robert Hogan, "classified employees" are the
employees Hardy referred to work. (Ex. 136 at 59) This provision
regarding the employees who handled the crates was also included in
the prior collective bargaining agreements for the period from
January 1991 through December 1993. (Exs. 227-28)
184
Although the workers who handled the empty crates were
excluded from the collective bargaining agreements, it appears that
in certain circumstances, Local 714 members handled empty crates.
For example, as a general rule the non-union workers moved empty
crates using dollies but if a forklift was needed to move a crate,
then a Teamster would do that. (Ex. 136 at 60-61; Ex. 50 at 47, 55-
57; Ex. 74 at 31) In addition, during trade shows at hotels, Local
714 members handled the empty crates using dollies. (Ex. 43 at 13;
Ex. 136 at 55) According to Robert Hogan, if there were several
crates that must be moved, a contractor could choose to have Local
714 members move the crates. (Ex. 136 at 65)
93

which supplied the non-union workers who handled the empty crates
at McCormick Place. (Ex. 74 at 23-29; Ex. 229) 185
Trade show business agent Hogan did not know why the
workers who handled the empty crates were not within Local 714's
jurisdiction. (Ex. 136 at 55) He also testified that Local 714
never sought to represent the workers who handled the empty crates.
(Ex. 136 at 56) After reviewing the Local's current collective
bargaining agreement with Rosemont, Secretary-Treasurer Hogan
testified that this provision was in the contract because,
[t]he industry is extremely competitive. If you build
too much cost in they will take their shows to other
cities. So to have that work done by all Teamsters would
be extremely expensive and probably chase the work away.
(Ex. 1 at 51) He had "no idea" when the last time the issue of the
workers who handle the empty crates was discussed with any of the
trade show contractors. (Ex. 1 at 52) 186
2. Bomark Cleaning Services
As discussed supra at 80-82, Boscarino is a part-owner of
Bomark Cleaning Services.
Bomark appears to have supplied non-
185
As detailed infra at 106-111, Maxwell was also an owner of
Convention Cartage Systems, a company which had a collective
bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Ex. 230-31) Since the
inception of the collective bargaining agreement with Local 714,
Convention Cartage Systems failed to make required contributions on
behalf of its employees to the Local 714 Health Fund. (Ex. 232)
186
According to President Hogan, non-union workers have
"always" handled the empty crates at McCormick Place. (Ex. 135 at
67) He did not know why such workers have handled the empty
crates. (Ex. 135 at 67) He thought that in the past the Local
tried unsuccessfully to organize one of the day labor service
companies. (Ex. 135 at 67)
94

union workers to Rosemont to handle the empty crates for trade
shows. (Ex. 30 at 37-38; Ex. 15 at 14-15) 187 Boscarino's desire for
the business for Bomark may have conflicted with the Local's
decision as to what work was within its jurisdiction.
3. Empties, Inc.
The Secretary-Treasurer's and President's nephew, Ronald
Maxwell, Jr., is a part owner and officer of Empties, Inc., which
provided non-union labor to trade show contractors with Local 714
collective bargaining agreements. (Ex. 230; Ex. 74 at 23-24, 28-
30) 188 On the annual report dated February 14, 1996, Maxwell was
listed as the President and only officer of Empties. (Ex. 229)
Local 714 member Douglas Marcinek ("Marcinek") was an
investor in Empties, Inc.. (Ex. 74 at 23-24) 189
According to
Marcinek, Empties was formed after representatives of trade show
187
Trade show business agent Robert Hogan testified that
employees of Bomark "may" have handled the empty crates at the
Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex. 136 at 63) Hardy testified that
he did not know if Bomark was involved in supplying employees to
handle empty crates. (Ex. 50 at 60)
188
Ronald Maxwell, Jr.'s mother, Mary Jane Maxwell, is William
Hogan, Jr.'s sister. (Ex. 78 at 4, 7) Between July 1982 and July
1994, Ronald Maxwell, Jr. was a Local 714 member. (Ex. 233) In
addition, his brothers, Daniel, Kevin and Timothy Maxwell are
currently Local 714 members. (Ex. 5; Ex. 78 at 3, 7-8)
Furthermore, his brother-in-law, Charles Burandt, who is married to
his sister Dawn, is also a Local 714 member in the Local's trade
show/movie division. (Ex. 5)
189
Marcinek testified that other investors in Empties were
Bill Glasgow, Jr., Ron Capua, and John Fareg. (Ex. 74 at 26-27)
Bill Glasgow and John Fareg were Local 714 members. (Ex. 74 at 32-
33) However, they are no longer members of the Local. (Ex. 74 at
32-33)
95

contractors Freeman and GES spoke to Local 714 members and
suggested that a company be formed to compete against the company
which was providing the workers to handle the empty crates. (Ex. 74
at 23, 28-29) 190
Depending upon the size of the trade show, Empties
supplied between twenty and sixty workers to the trade show
contractors to handle the empty crates. (Ex. 74 at 36)
Empties
obtained workers to supply to the show contractor from temporary
labor services including ReadyMen and Labor World which labor
service paid them minimum wage. (Ex. 74 at 26, 30, 36) In 1995
investors in Empties received $8,000 each. (Ex. 74 at 32) 191
G. Sham Contracts and Ineligible Members
1. The Weinbergs
The Local 714 employer roster dated September 14, 1995
listed "S & J" as a company with a Local 714 collective bargaining
agreement and two members. (Ex. 132)
The two Local 714 members
reportedly employed at S & J Scrap were Brian and Sheldon Weinberg.
(Ex. 137 at 17; Ex. 234) Local 714 has never had a signed
190
Marcinek testified that the company which had been
supplying the non-union workers to handle the empty crates was
Jerry Wieland or Wieland Services. (Ex. 74 at 23-24)
191
It appears that in the past, William Hogan, Jr.'s brother,
Michael Hogan, Sr. may have been involved with a company that
supplied non-union workers to handle the empty crates. (Ex. 34 at
6) According to Michael Hogan, Jr., his father, Michael Hogan,
Sr., worked for United Maintenance. (Ex. 53 at 19) United
Maintenance arranged for a temporary labor service, ReadyMen, to
provide workers to handle the empty crates at McCormick Place. (Ex.
53 at 19, 23)
96

collective bargaining agreement with S & J Scrap. (Ex. 135 at 31;
Ex. 137 at 23) 192
There is no S & J Scrap at the location listed on
the September 1995 employer roster; at this location is a used car
lot, Wayne Motors. (Ex. 135 at 30, 38) 193
On February 23, 1996, Brian and Sheldon Weinberg each
failed to appear for his noticed IRB sworn examination. (Exs. 236-
37) On June 7, 1996, the IRB recommended to the Local 714
Executive Board that the Weinbergs be charged with failing to
cooperate with the IRB. (Ex. 127)
On July 22, 1996 the Local's
Executive Board permanently barred the Weinbergs from the IBT. (Ex.
310)
The Titan dues printouts for Brian and Sheldon Weinberg
reflected that they joined Local 714 on April 1, 1990 and January
1, 1989 respectively. (Exs. 242-43) 194 By letters dated February
14, 1996 and April 25, 1996, the Chief Investigator's office
192
On the Local 714 employer roster dated September 1995 this
company is referred to as "S & J." (Ex. 132) However, as discussed
below, on other Local records, for example the membership list,
this company is referred to as S & J Scrap. (Ex. 234) For purposes
of this report, S & J and S & J Scrap are used interchangeably.
193
An on line review of Illinois Secretary of State documents
disclosed no record of incorporation in the name S & J Scrap. In
addition, there was no phone listing for S & J or S & J Scrap in
the Chicago area. (Ex. 235) Furthermore, Local 714 Vice President
Arrington testified that he did not see evidence of a company S &
J Scrap at the address for S & J Scrap in Local 714 records. (Ex.
137 at 17, 22)
194
Although both Weinbergs were Local members at the time, an
employer list Local 714 furnished to the Chief Investigator in
response to a March 31, 1994 request did not reflect S & J Scrap as
a company under contract with the Local (Ex. 238) In addition, an
employer list dated August 30, 1991 did not list S & J Scrap as an
employer under contract with Local 714. (Ex. 239)
97

equested that Local 714 provide a copy of the Local's collective
bargaining agreement with S & J. (Ex. 240) 195
Subsequent to those
requests, on March 5, 1996 Local 714 issued withdrawal cards to the
Weinbergs. (Exs. 242-43) President Hogan testified that he
directed these withdrawal cards be issued after he became aware
that a used car lot was located at the address listed for S & J
Scrap. (Ex. 135 at 35) 196
By letter dated May 3, 1996, the Local provided an
unsigned collective bargaining agreement between Local 714 and S &
J covering February 1, 1989 through January 31, 1992. (Ex. 165 and
244) This unsigned agreement, which purported to cover "all
production, maintenance, shipping and receiving room employees",
provided for employer contributions to the Local 714 Metal Industry
Health and Welfare Fund. (Ex. 244) According to President Hogan,
the Weinbergs received hospitalization benefits through this Fund
and the Fund recently sued the Weinbergs "to recover whatever
losses there were." (Ex. 135 at 34)
President Hogan asserted that he first learned the Local
did not have a signed collective bargaining agreement with S & J in
about September or October 1994 when he reviewed a "contract on
file" list the Local maintained. (Ex. 135 at 26-27; Ex. 245) He
also realized then that no business agent was assigned to S & J.
195
During the Chief Investigator's review of records at the
Local 714 offices in December 1995, the Local was also requested to
provide copies of several collective bargaining agreements,
including the collective bargaining agreement for S & J. (Ex. 241)
196
President Hogan testified that it was his understanding
that the Weinbergs were used car salesmen. (Ex. 135 at 39)
98

(Ex. 135 at 27-28) 197
At that time he assigned Arrington to obtain
a signed collective bargaining agreement. (Ex. 135 at 27-28) Vice
President Arrington stated that he first learned of the Local's
failure to have a signed collective bargaining agreement with S &
J in late 1994 from President Hogan. (Ex. 137 at 14-15)
Although both Hogan and Arrington knew in the fall of
1994 the agreement with S & J was unsigned, no action was taken
concerning this until after the Chief Investigator's office
requested information concerning S & J. President Hogan claimed he
first became aware "that S & J Scrap was not a scrap operation" as
a result of an IRB request for the collective bargaining agreement
with S & J Scrap. (Ex. 135 at 25, 35) He explained the lack of a
signed agreement as a result of Arrington's pattern of neglecting
to get contracts signed.
(Ex. 135 at 29)
He stated,
it is not at all uncommon for Marshall to have contracts
that are ratified and agreed upon and not signed for a
year or two and they would continue to appear on this
contract on file list and he would be continually
reminded to get these contracts signed.
Arrington testified that after James M. Hogan spoke to
him a second time about S & J Scrap in approximately 1996, he
determined that Wayne Motors, Inc., a used car lot, occupied the
197
President Hogan testified that retired Local 714 business
agent Benny Quiroz may have been assigned to S & J Scrap. (Ex. 135
at 31-32) However, as of the date of his sworn examination Hogan
said that he had not been able to speak with Quiroz because Quiroz
currently lives in Mexico City. (Ex. 135 at 32) Hogan testified
that when Quiroz retired he went over each of Quiroz's shops with
him. He testified that he did not recall if S & J Scrap came up at
that time. (Ex. 135 at 39-40)
99

address listed for S & J. (Ex. 137 at 15-17, 21) 198
Weinberg.
When Arrington went to Wayne Motors, he spoke to Sheldon
Arrington believed that Weinberg was "evading" his
questions. (Ex. 137 at 17-19)
Weinberg.
Arrington also spoke to Brian
Brian Weinberg told Arrington that a friend of his
father's spoke to William Hogan, Sr. about the Weinbergs becoming
members. (Ex. 137 at 20) Arrington could not recall the name of
either Weinberg's father or his father's friend. (Ex. 137 at 20) 199
President Hogan testified that his father told him that he did not
know anything about S & J Scrap and did not know the Weinbergs.
(Ex. 135 at 31)
2. James F. Hogan
During his sworn examination, James F. Hogan, a cousin of
the Hogans who joined Local 714
in approximately 1969, testified
that between approximately 1981 and 1985 he was "an operations
manager" for Rosemont, a Local 714 employer. (Ex. 52 at 4) 200
198
According to Illinois corporate records, Wayne Motors, Inc.
was incorporated on March 16, 1978. (Ex. 246) The President of
Wayne Motors was Sheldon Weinberg and the Secretary was Dolores
Weinberg. (Ex. 246) The address for Sheldon Weinberg on the 1995
annual report Wayne Motors filed with the Illinois Secretary of
State was the same address for Sheldon Weinberg on the Local 714
August 30, 1995 membership list. (Exs. 246-47) An IBT Titan list
of employers with contracts with Local 714 as of July 5, 1995
listed an employer as: "S & J Scrap Inc. c/o Wayne Motor." (Ex.
248)
199
According to Arrington, Brian Weinberg told him that his
father was a Local 714 member employed at S & J Scrap. (Ex. 137 at
20-21)
200
James F. Hogan testified that it was "unclear" whether an
operations manager was a position covered under the Local's
collective bargaining agreement with Rosemont. (Ex. 52 at 5) He
remained a union member while the operations manager because he
100

Secretary-Treasurer Hogan testified that his cousin James worked
for Rosemont as an account executive, a position not within the
Local 714 bargaining unit. (Ex. 1 at 59-60) Hardy testified that
he believed that during the time James F. Hogan worked as an
account executive for Rosemont, he was not a member of the
Teamsters. (Ex. 50 at 9) James F. Hogan, however, testified that
since 1969 his Local membership was continuous and while he was the
operations manager for Rosemont he remained a Local 714 member.
( Ex. 52 at 3-5) Accordingly, it appears that while not employed
within the bargaining unit Local 714 represented, James F. Hogan
was permitted to remain a union member.
3. Vincent Siciliano
James F. Hogan was not the only person permitted to be a
Local 714 member while working in a non-bargaining unit position
for a trade show contractor. For example, Vincent Siciliano, who
works as a freight supervisor for GES, is a Local 714 member. ( Ex.
105 at 3, 11) According to Siciliano, there are five other freight
supervisors at GES who are not Local 714 members. (Ex. 105 at 12)
The Local's collective bargaining agreement with GES does not
include freight supervisors in the bargaining unit. (Ex. 157 at 14)
Siciliano was not paid pursuant to the Local's collective
bargaining agreement with GES. (Ex. 105 at 13-14; Ex. 157 at 14)
Prior to becoming a Local 714 member, Siciliano worked for O'Hare
stated he, "wanted to keep my continuous time running." ( Ex. 52 at
5) He testified that when he was the operations manager he was
paid according to the collective bargaining agreement between
Rosemont and Local 714. ( Ex. 52 at 5-6)
101

Exposition Maintenance, a company Michael Hogan, Sr. owned. (Ex.
105 at 3-4)
When asked how he came to be the only freight supervisor
who was a union member, Siciliano testified, "I've maintained my
teamster benefits throughout the employment.
That was the
agreement we had when I came on board with Andrews Bartlett [a
trade show contractor] and it's continued through GES." (Ex. 105 at
12) Siciliano testified that he did not know who from Local 714
agreed to allow him to be a member of the union. (Ex. 105 at 13)
As a member of the Local, Siciliano was entitled to attend Local
membership meetings and vote for candidates, although he testified
that he did not attend such meetings. (Ex. 105 at 17)
4. Charles W. Miller
Charles W. Miller ("Miller"), a former Local 714 member,
is currently incarcerated. He was permitted to continue his Local
714 membership while he was in prison. According to his dues
records, Miller first paid dues to the Local on February 17, 1994
after his conviction and while his appeal was pending. (Exs. 171,
172)201
201 William Hogan, Jr. testified that in the past parole
officers contacted Local 714 to place individuals to work at
McCormick Place in order to assist such individuals to get out of
prison. (Ex. 1 at 109; Ex. 308 at 11) As is evident from decades
of practice, good jobs for felons was a more important
consideration for the Hogans' assignments in the trade show/movie
division than allowing Local 714 members from other employers to
have better opportunities. As detailed supra at 21, fn. 34, former
chief steward Kaye was permitted to remain the chief steward after
his conviction for taking money from trade show contractors for
work he did not perform. In addition, as detailed supra at 47-48,
102

On July 23, 1992, Miller was convicted of felony charges
in connection with the theft of $187,000 in diamonds from an
Illinois jewelry salesman in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. (Ex. 172) On
August 18, 1994, Miller began serving an eight year sentence at a
correctional facility in Wisconsin. (Ex. 172)
On January 3, 1996, a notice of sworn examination was
sent to Miller at 2681 Rusty Drive, Des Plaines, Illinois as
reflected on the Local's June 1995 membership records scheduling
his sworn examination for January 18, 1996. (Exs. 173-74) On or
about January 10, 1996, a lawyer contacted the Chief Investigator's
office and advised that his client, Local 714 member Miller, was
incarcerated. (Ex. 175)
According to Miller's dues records, subsequent to August
18, 1994 when he was incarcerated in Wisconsin, his quarterly union
dues were paid on the following dates: December 10, 1994, March 13,
1995 and July 11, 1995. (Ex. 171) On September 18, 1995, he was
issued a withdrawal card from Local 714. (Ex. 171)
On January 11, 1996, the Chief Investigator's office sent
to Secretary-Treasurer Hogan six questions and a request for
transportation coordinator George DiLeonardi became a member of the
Local's trade show/movie division after being convicted of a
felony. Furthermore, Eddie Smith, Jr. became a Local 714 member in
the trade show/movie division in approximately April 1986 after he
served approximately five years of a fifteen year federal sentence
for possession with intent to distribute cocaine. (Ex. 109 at 6-8;
Ex. 133) Smith began working in the trade show/movie division
after a Carpenters union official introduced Smith to then
Secretary Treasurer Hogan, Sr.. (Ex. 109 at 3-5)
103

documents regarding Miller. (Ex. 176) 202 In response to this
request, Local 714's counsel provided an affidavit from Miller
dated January 18, 1996. (Ex. 177) In this affidavit, Miller stated
"I am a member of Teamster Local Union Number 714" and further
stated that his father paid his union dues by personal check. (Ex.
177) Miller also stated that from September 9, 1994 to the
present, "I do not know whether I was, or was not, a participant in
the Local 714 Health and Welfare Fund, the Central State's [sic]
Pension Fund or any other Teamster related pension fund . . .."
(Ex. 177) 203 By letter dated February 1, 1996, Local 714's counsel
provided an affidavit from William Hogan, Jr. denying any personal
knowledge responsive to the questions regarding Miller and stating
that Local 714 records did not provide answers. (Ex. 178)
Secretary-Treasurer Hogan refused to review Local 714 Health Fund
records to respond to the Chief Investigator's inquiries which
included the question of whether Miller participated in the Local's
Health Fund subsequent to September 1994. (Exs. 177 and 178)
2°2
This request was made pursuant to Paragraph G of the March
14, 1989 Consent Decree in United States v. IBT, 88 Civ. 4486
(S.D.N.Y.). The questions posed to Secretary-Treasurer Hogan
included how Miller's dues were paid, for which employers he worked
and whether he participated in the Local 714 Health Fund or other
IBT affiliated benefit funds after September 1994. (Ex. 176)
(Ex. 177)
203
In addition, Miller stated,
I do not remember making any contributions personally,
nor do I remember my father making any in my behalf to
the Local 714 Health and Welfare Fund, the Central
State's [sic] Pension Fund or any other Teamster related
pension fund from September 9, 1994, to the present.
104

The ease with which Miller could remain a member while in
prison and the trade show/movie division's members' power as a
voting bloc raise troubling questions. See, supra at 60-62.
Moreover, the Secretary-Treasurer's refusal to review the records
is another piece of evidence indicating claims of desire to reform
are hollow in this Local.
5. Vernon Stoub
Vernon Stoub is an owner of Standard Cartage and signed
the Local's collective bargaining agreement on behalf of the
company. (Ex. 249 at 9, 20-21; Ex. 250)
Vernon Stoub and his
brother, John Stoub, who is also an owner of Standard Cartage, are
both members of Local 714. (Ex. 249 at 3, 6)
Currently, Vernon and John Stoub are the only Local 714
members employed at Standard Cartage. (Ex. 249 at 7-8) According
to Vernon Stoub, in addition to being an owner of the company, he
is a machinery driver at Standard. (Ex. 249 at 8-9) Other drivers
at Standard, whom Stoub described as freight drivers, are members
of IBT Local 705. (Ex. 249 at 6) Stoub is not paid pursuant to the
Local 714 collective bargaining agreement. (Ex. 249 at 16; Ex. 250)
Stoub testified that he is member of the Local,
[b]ecause for the convenience of the health and welfare
benefits. Being management, I probably don't have to be
a member and I had -- by the time I became an owner, I
had 15 years in and I wanted to get a full pension. I
was probably vested already, but it was convenient.
(Ex. 249 at 22) This is another sham contract and sham membership.
105

6. Convention Cartage Systems, Inc.
Local 714 has a collective bargaining agreement with
Convention Cartage Systems ("Convention") which the Secretary-
Treasurer's and President's nephew, Ronald E. Maxwell, Jr.
("Maxwell"), owns. (Ex. 231; Ex. 135 at 52) 204
Recording Secretary
Robert Hogan negotiated this collective bargaining agreement with
his cousin in about May 1994. (Ex. 231; Ex. 136 at 24) Since the
start of its contractual obligations in May 1994, Convention failed
to make contributions to the Local 714 Health and Welfare Fund on
behalf of the Local 714 members it employed. (Ex. 232)
As
discussed infra at 110, on or about May 7, 1996, after the IRB
investigation of Local 714 began, the Local 714 Health and Welfare
Fund filed a lawsuit against Convention seeking $50,000 in back
contributions. (Ex. 232)
According to Illinois corporate records, Convention was
incorporated on August 24, 1993 and Maxwell was listed as the
registered agent. (Ex. 230) On the annual report Convention filed
dated September 26, 1994, Maxwell was listed as the company
President. (Ex. 230)
Maxwell became a Local member in July 1982. (Ex. 233) 205
204
Local 714 member Dan Maxwell, testified that his brother
Ronald was an owner and officer of Convention. (Ex. 78 at 10-11)
According to Dan Maxwell, John Fareg was Ronald Maxwell's partner
in Convention. (Ex. 78 at 10-11) Fareg was a Local 714 member in
the Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 78 at 11)
205
Maxwell's three brothers, Daniel, Kevin and Timothy, are
also Local 714 members in the trade show/movie division. (Ex. 5)
In addition, Maxwell's brother-in-law, Charles Burandt, is also a
Local 714 member in the trade show/movie division. (Ex. 5)
106

On a March 31, 1994 Local 714 membership list, he was listed as
being employed in the Local's trade show division. (Ex. 252) 2 °6
On or about May 1, 1994, while he was a Local 714 member,
Maxwell signed a collective bargaining agreement with Local 714 on
behalf of Convention. (Exs. 231 and 233)
His uncle, President
Hogan, and his cousin, Recording Secretary Hogan, signed on behalf
of the Local. (Ex. 231; Ex. 135 at 53-54)
This contract was
effective from May 1, 1994 through April 30, 1997. (Ex. 231) As of
September 1995, there were twelve members employed at Convention
Cartage. (Ex. 132) 2 ° 7
On or about July 20, 1994, Ronald Maxwell,
Jr. took a withdrawal card from Local 714. (Ex. 233)
Several Executive Board members and business agents
testified that they were not aware that Local 714 had entered into
a collective bargaining agreement with a company William Hogan,
Jr.'s nephew owned. (Ex. 139 at 14-15; Ex. 138 at 37; Ex. 137 at
35; Ex. 140 at 17) 208 There were no discussions at any Executive
Board meeting about the Local negotiating a collective bargaining
2°6
As discussed supra at 92-96, while he was a Local 714
member Maxwell also formed a company Empties, Inc. which provides
non-union temporary labor to trade show contractors to move and
store empty crates at McCormick Place. (Ex. 74 at 23) Also while
a Local 714 member, Maxwell was an owner of a company, Maxron,
which hauled air freight. (Ex. 136 at 27; Ex. 191) Maxron picked
up small freight packages at the Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex.
15 at 12) Local 714 never had a collective bargaining agreement
with Maxron. (Ex. 136 at 29)
207
Robert Hogan testified that Convention probably had
employees who were not Local members employed in the office. He
never sought to organize these employees. (Ex. 136 at 31)
208
Indeed, Maxwell's brother, Local 714 member Dan Maxwell,
testified that he did not know if Convention had a collective
bargaining agreement with Local 714. (Ex. 78 at 11)
107

agreement with the nephew of the principal officer and the Local's
President and allowing the employer's cousin to be the business
agent assigned to the company. (Ex. 253; Ex. 135 at 52-53; Ex. 136
at 25)
Convention hauled freight at McCormick Place for Freeman
and GES which both have contracts with Local 714. (Ex. 136 at 24;
Ex. 150 at 18; Ex. 50 at 17) Convention also hauled freight at the
Rosemont Exposition Center. (Ex. 30 at 29-30)
Chief steward and
Trustee Hardy testified that he knew Convention hauled freight at
McCormick Place but did not know if Local 714 had a contract with
it. (Ex. 50 at 17) 209 In contrast to Hardy's testimony, a Local 714
trade show/movie division member testified that Hardy assigned him
to work as a driver for Convention. (Ex. 11 at 21-22)
Maxwell hired his cousin, Brian Hogan, President Hogan's
son, to work for Convention loading and unloading trucks at its
warehouse. (Ex. 150 at 4) He worked at Convention from
approximately August 1994 through July 1995 and became a Local 714
member as a result of his employment at Convention. (Ex. 150 at 4-
5)
According to Robert Hogan, he negotiated a collective
bargaining agreement with his cousin because a now deceased member
of the Local's trade show/movie division, Bill Woods, began to work
for Convention. (Ex. 136 at 24-25, 30)
After Woods told Robert
Hogan that he wanted to join the union, Hogan contacted Maxwell.
2°9 Hardy testified that he "heard" that Maxwell was involved
in Convention, but he did not know if Maxwell was the owner of that
company. (Ex. 50 at 17-18)
108

(Ex. 136 at 24-25) According to Robert Hogan, Woods knew that
Hogan was related to Maxwell. (Ex. 136 at 26) However, as
additional employees were hired at Convention, Robert Hogan, the
business agent for the company, did not tell the new employees that
he was related to Maxwell. (Ex. 136 at 31)
For example, a
Convention employee testified that he did not know who owned
Convention and did not know if Maxwell was related to William
Hogan, Jr.. (Ex. 11 at 23-25)
President Hogan gave a different explanation. According
to him, Maxwell explained he was going into the trucking business
and wanted a contract with Local 714. (Ex. 135 at 54) President
Hogan testified that he told Maxwell to work out an agreement with
Robert Hogan with the understanding that "the terms and conditions
will be the same as all other trucking contractors in the
industry". (Ex. 135 at 54-55)
He further testified that when
negotiating the Convention contract, the Local 714 contract with
J&J Motors was followed. (Ex. 135 at 55)
The Local 714 contracts for Convention and J&J Motors
were not identical. A difference is that in the current J&J Motors
contract the employer pension fund contributions on behalf of
covered employees were $18.00 more per week for the first two years
of the contract and $16.00 more per week for the last year of the
contract than the contributions Convention Cartage was required to
make. (Exs. 231, 254 and 292) 210
210
However, the hourly rate Convention Cartage was required
to pay straight truck drivers was $.41 more than the J&J Motors
hourly rate for each year the contracts covered. (Exs. 231, 254 and
109

On May 7, 1996, after the Chief Investigator's
investigation began, the Local 714 Health and Welfare Fund filed a
complaint against Convention Cartage in U. S.
District Court for
the Northern District of Illinois seeking to recover "in excess of
$50,000" in contributions Convention failed to make on behalf of
its employees to the Local 714 Health Fund. (Ex. 232) According to
the complaint, since May 1994, which was the effective date of the
collective bargaining agreement with the company, Convention had
failed to make contributions on behalf of its employees to the
Fund. (Exs. 231 and 232) 211
It is unclear whether Convention is still in existence.
According to Robert Hogan, Convention went out of business sometime
in 1995. (Ex. 136 at 23) 212
President Hogan testified that he
believed that the company may have "either merged or -- some kind
of a change in ownership or the structure of their business, but
I'm not sure what it was." (Ex. 135 at 52) 213
Maxwell's brother, Local 714 member Kevin Maxwell,
292) The hourly rate for other truck drivers was the same in the
J&J Motors and Convention Cartage contracts. (Ex. 231, 254 and 292)
211
On July 15, 1996 a default order was entered against
Convention Cartage and the company was ordered to provide payroll
records and Illinois tax returns for the period of January 1, 1994
to July 15, 1996 to the Local 714 Health and Welfare Fund. The
matter was adjourned to August 29, 1996. (Ex. 251)
212
According to Robert Hogan, after Convention Cartage went
out of business, Maxwell began "brokering", which Hogan defined as
being involved in arranging for freight to be moved out of
McCormick Place. (Ex. 136 at 29)
213
On February 1, 1996, a federal tax lien was filed against
Convention Cartage Systems for failure to pay federal withholding
taxes and other federal taxes totaling $261,330.24. (Ex. 255)
110

elieved that Convention was still in existence. (Ex. 79 at 9) In
addition, Harry Connor, a Local member who is the foreman at the
GES warehouse and is involved in a business with Ronald Maxwell,
Jr.'s wife, also testified that he believed that Convention was in
business. (Ex. 256 at 29-30) 214
According to information available
on Nexis, Convention Cartage filed an annual report and paid a
franchise tax on January 8, 1996. (Ex. 258)
7. Consolidated Film Delivery
Local 714 has a collective bargaining agreement with an
employer, Consolidated Film Delivery ("Consolidated"), where an
officer of the company, Richard McLaughlin, was included in the
bargaining unit and, in fact, was its shop steward. (Ex. 128; Exs.
239, 259-60) The Local's collective bargaining agreement with this
company provided: "[t]he Company may include their own office help
or any one they choose [in the Local's Health Fund] providing the
law will allow them." (Ex. 128 at 5) 215
Consolidated was incorporated on September 5, 1990. (Ex.
214
Local 714 member Harry Connor, along with Local members
Dale Torii, James Smith, Robert E. Hogan, Anthony Pomonis, Robert
Kulak, Douglas Marcinek and Terence Sweet, and Weleska Maxwell,
Ronald Maxwell's wife, are owners of First Class Furnishings, a
company which does business in the trade show industry. (Ex. 256 at
15-16; Ex. 133; Ex. 257)
215
When asked who would be responsible for monitoring whether
Consolidated allowed anyone they chose to join the Local's Health
Fund, President James M. Hogan responded, "I don't think anyone
would monitor that unless they were aware of it being in there."
(Ex. 135 at 49)
111

259) 216 The Illinois corporate records available on NEXIS listed
Richard McLaughlin as Secretary and Rosemary Martin as President.
(Ex. 259) According to the Local 714 employer roster dated
September 1995, there were two Local 714 members employed at
Consolidated. (Ex. 132) McLaughlin was one of them. (Ex. 290) 217
The address given for Local 714 member McLaughlin was the same as
the address for the McLaughlin listed as a company officer. (Ex.
259-260)
Vendafreddo, the President's and Secretary-Treasurer's
brother-in-law, has been the business agent for Consolidated for
the last nine years. (Ex. 140 at 34-35, 40) 218
Both President Hogan
and Vendafreddo signed the collective bargaining agreement. (Ex.
128; Ex. 135 at 41; Ex. 140 at 39) Hogan testified that although
he signed the contract, he had "no idea whatsoever" how the
provision in the contract which allowed the employer to place "any
one" in the Local's health fund became part of the Local's
contract. (Ex. 135 at 48) 219
216
According to President Hogan, this company delivered film
to movie theaters. (Ex. 135 at 40)
217
The other member was Jerome Bruen. (Ex. 290)
218
Although Vendafreddo was the business agent for
Consolidated, he testified that he did not know the job
classifications of employees Consolidated employed. (Ex. 140 at 35-
36) Vendafreddo testified that Local 714 represented two or three
employees at Consolidated and he did not know if the company had
any other employees. (Ex. 140 at 35-37)
219
During his sworn examination, President Hogan testified
that the provision which allowed the employer to place any one in
the Local's Health Fund might have been carried over from previous
collective bargaining agreements which may have been negotiated by
Teamster Local 755 which merged with Local 714. (Ex. 135 at 47)
112

Vendafreddo also could not explain how that language came
to be part of the agreement. (Ex. 140 at 42) 220
President Hogan
could not explain how a Consolidated officer came to be a member of
Local 714 and a Local steward. (Ex. 135 at 45)
H. The Inadequacy of Local 714's Purported Self Reforms
1. Introduction
Recently, Local 714 took various actions in apparent
response to IRB inquiries. These fall short of needed reform and
appear solely to be window dressing. No steps addressed the
historic unfairness of the Local's assignment of work in the trade
show/movie division to the favored relatives and friends who were
allowed entry into that division.
The Local's leadership has a pattern of only acting when
something is brought to light by an outsider. For example, only
after IRB inquiries regarding Convention, did the Local's Health
Fund file a lawsuit against the Hogan relative's company based upon
the company's failure to make requisite health fund contributions
from the start of its collective bargaining agreement.
Another example of the Local's failure to take serious
However, Consolidated was incorporated in 1990, at least fifteen
years after the merger of Locals 755 and 714. (Ex. 135 at 47) In
any event, the possibility that such language may have been
included in previous contracts, did not provide an explanation for
why such language was included in a Local 714 collective bargaining
agreement effective July 1, 1994.
220
When asked whether office employees of Consolidated
participated in the Local's health plan, Vendafreddo testified, "I
have no idea. I would be guessing no, but I don't know." (Ex. 140
at 43)
113

steps toward self-reform was the Local's continued failure to hold
the requisite number of Executive Board and membership meetings
after being advised to do so by an IBT auditor in August 1995. As
discussed infra at 118-120, the Local's recent actions are
reminiscent of the intended cosmetic action the Local took in the
1970s after it was publicized that organized crime figures were
employed as Local 714 members at McCormick Place.
2. Local 714 Recent Actions
After the Chief Investigator conducted the sworn
examination of Richard DeAngelo in July 1994, in approximately
August 1994 the Local retained Gerry Miller, Esq. to conduct an
investigation of the Local's trade show/movie division. (Ex. 304)
The report of this investigation was issued on May 27, 1996,
twenty-one months after the investigation began, and two days
before the IRB sworn examination of William Hogan, Jr.. (Ex. 129)
The Miller investigation focussed on the Local's trade
show/movie division, but only four of the six transportation
coordinators provided written statements in connection with this
investigation. (Ex. 129) The written statements were signed in
November 1994 or January 1995. (Ex. 129) William Hogan, Jr.'s son,
William Hogan, III and Richard DeAngelo, each of whom were
transportation coordinators and owners of companies which did
business in the movie industry, did not provide written statements
114

1- 2) 222 It appears that after the written statements in late 1994
during the course of the investigation.2 21 The Miller report
contained no explanation for why written statements were not taken
in late 1994 or early 1995 of the two transportation coordinators
who occupied these apparently conflicted positions. (Ex. 129)
addition to the four signed statements taken in late 1994 or early
1995, it appears that during the course of the Miller investigation
the only other members who were interviewed were the Secretary-
Treasurer, President and business agent Robert Hogan. (Ex. 129 at
or early 1995, Miller conducted no further investigation until 1996
when the IRB began conducting sworn examinations of members in the
trade show/movie division. 223
Accordingly, it appears that the
Miller investigation was dormant until the IRB began its
investigation in late 1995 at which time the Miller investigation
tried to anticipate the IRB's findings.
221
William Hogan, III was an owner of three companies, Movies
in Motion/SJB Rentals, H & M Rentals and Art's RV Sewer and Septic,
which did business in the movie industry with employers of Local
714 members. (Ex. 57 at 16, 22, 25; Ex. 72 at 14) Similarly,
transportation coordinator Richard DeAngelo was a part owner of
Premier Fuel and Cartage which did business in both the trade show
and movie industries with employers of Local 714 members. (Ex. 34
at 16-20)
222
It is unclear from the Miller report when the interviews
of the three Hogan officers took place. In addition to these
interviews, Miller reviewed certain of the IRB sworn examinations
which Local 714's counsel forwarded to him. (Ex. 129 at 2) The IRB
sworn examinations began in January 1996.
223
In an August 18, 1994 letter, Miller estimated that his
investigation would take approximately sixty days to complete. (Ex.
304)
115

In his report Miller wrote,
this investigation did not turn up indications that any
Local 714 officers or representative [sic] sought to
influence the business decisions of members in movie
coordinator positions. Nevertheless, because some may
perceive that Local 714 officials are making decisions
involving coordinators and others based upon whether they
do business with relatives of the Hogans who hold office
in Local 714, we believe the Local Union's policy should
be put in writing and communicated to the coordinators
and others concerned.
(Ex. 129 at 33) After making this finding, Miller recommended
that,
[t]he personal history information and background check
requirements required for appointment to referral
officer, chief steward, steward or coordinator positions
should include the disclosure of and an investigation
into any financial interests the member or members of his
immediate family may have in firms whose businesses
consist in substantial part of providing equipment, goods
or services to employers that employ members of Local
714. No person who will retain such an interest after
taking the referral position should be appointed to the
lob. The personal history information disclosures should
be updated regularly.
(Ex. 129 at 33-34; emphasis added) On June 18, 1996, the Executive
Board adopted the recommendations in the Miller report. (Ex.
130) 224 However, after an Executive Board meeting on July 3, 1996,
224
The Local's Executive Board adopted various Miller
recommendations including the requirement that members and extras
in the trade show/movie division file disclosure statements listing
any criminal record and any business interests they or their
immediate families have with companies whose "businesses consist in
substantial part of providing equipment, goods, or services to
employers that employ members of Local 714." (Ex. 129 at 34; Ex.
130; Ex. 284) In addition, the Executive Board adopted the
recommendation that background checks be performed on all members
who are candidates for appointment to a "referral officer, chief
steward, steward or coordinator position" in the trade show/movie
division. It is unclear whether this provision would cover
appointments to the position of movie captain or co-captain. (Exs.
129-30; Ex. 284) At least seventy-two percent of the movie
captains and co-captains are Hogan relatives and friends. (Ex. 3)
116

Miller modified his recommendations. (Ex. 302) For example, Miller
changed his recommendations to allow stewards in the trade show
industry to own companies which do business with Local 714
employers. (Ex. 302)
In addition, with respect to Miller's recommendation that
"any financial interests the member or members of his immediate
family may have in firms whose businesses consist in substantial
part of providing equipment, goods or services to employers that
employ members of Local 714" (Ex. 129 at 34) would disqualify a
member from a referral position, Miller limited "immediate family"
to the member, his spouse and minor children. (Ex. 302) This did
not address the incestuous ties that have strangled the trade
show/movie division and the Local.
Other matters also cast doubt on the Local's ability to
reform itself. As early as October 1994 the Local's President was
aware that the Local did not have a signed collective bargaining
Furthermore, the Local adopted the Miller recommendation
that "[T]he Local Union's policy [relative to leasing and procuring
equipment on behalf of a movie production company] should be put in
writing and communicated to the coordinators and others concerned"
and that "[r]eferrals should be made based on objective, known, and
relevant criteria that are put in writing and posted." (Exs. 129-
30; Ex. 284)
Moreover, as discussed supra at 75-77, the Miller report
recommended that, "Rosemont steward Nick Boscarino should be asked
to give up either his financial interests in any trade show
equipment leasing business or his steward position with Local 714."
(Ex. 129 at 34) As discussed supra at 75-77, after William Hogan,
Jr. advised Boscarino that he would be removed as the Rosemont
chief steward, on May 30, 1996, the date of his second IRB sworn
examination, Boscarino resigned as the Rosemont chief steward and
as an IBT member effective immediately. (Exs. 124-26)
117

agreement with S & J Scrap (Ex. 135 at 31), the purported employer
of former Local 714 members Brian and Sheldon Weinberg, yet the
Local did not take any steps to address this situation until after
IRB inquiries regarding S & J Scrap.
Even more dramatically, despite Convention's, a Hogan
relative's company, failure to make contributions to the Local's
Health Fund since the start of its contract in May 1994, the
Local's Fund did not file suit to obtain back contributions until
two years later in May 1996, after IRB inquiries regarding the
company. (Ex. 232)
Likewise, the Local 714 Metal Industry Health
Fund's suit against the Weinbergs to recover benefits paid also was
only instituted after IRB inquiries. (Ex. 135 at 34)
The Local's current purported remedial actions are
reminiscent of other past cosmetic actions taken in the face of
negative attention. Chicago newspapers in the early 1970s reported
that organized crime figures worked as Teamsters at McCormick
Place. (Ex. 285)
One 1974 article stated, "The payrolls of union
workers at McCormick Place dating back to 1971 reads like
Who in the Chicago crime syndicate..." (Ex. 285(b))
a 'Who's
Newspaper
articles reported that reputed organized crime figures Ernest Rocco
Infelise and Mario Garelli were employed as Teamsters at McCormick
Place. (Ex. 285) 225 After this negative publicity, then Local 714
Secretary-Treasurer William Hogan, Sr. removed the identified
individuals, including Infelise and Garelli, from their positions.
225
In the 1960s, Ernest Infelise was prosecuted for hijacking
with William "Willie Potatoes" Daddano, a reputed organized crime
member. (Ex. 286)
118

(Ex. 285(c))
By the then principal officer's own sworn admission, the
officers' intent was to do this solely for the period necessary for
press interest to vanish and then to return to the status quo.
During a June 1977 deposition, William Hogan, Sr. explained that
after the negative publicity about organized crime figures being
employed at McCormick Place, he spoke to then trade show division
chief steward David Kaye, as follows:
". . . So, Dave, I said, if this publicity is going to
continue we can't keep these guys in McCormick Place. We
have to put them somewhere else so the heat is off of
them, off of us and off of you"
(Ex. 146 at 9) Consistent with this, Hogan, Sr. described a
conversation he and his son, William Hogan, Jr., the present
principal officer, had with Ernest Rocco Infelise in which he
explained their plan to return Infelise to McCormick Place after
the publicity ended:
He [Infelise] said well, we want to stay here [McCormick
Place] and I said no, not as long as we are taking all
this publicity. We will put you anyplace but this
building and they [Infelise and Garelli] said we are not
going to work anyplace but this building and I said no,
not under our Local -- now, if you go and the heat dies
off we can bring you back, but we will find steady work
for you in the manufacturing plant or any other exhibit
hall, but not this one. They are zeroed in on and every
time you guys work here we are going to get a blast.
(Ex. 146 at 10-11) 226
This promise was insufficient for Infelise.
226
During a 1977 deposition, William Hogan, Jr., the Local's
current principal officer, testified about a similar conversation
he had with Americo DePietto, another Teamster employed at
McCormick Place who reportedly had organized crime ties. (Ex. 285
and Ex. 308 at 8-9) Hogan, Jr. testified that he told DePietto,
we would attempt to find them employment elsewhere in the
119

In or about November 1974, Infelise, Garelli, DePietto and three
other individuals who had been removed from McCormick Place filed
a civil rights suit objecting to their termination. (Ex. 285(d))
The defendants in this action included Local 714 officials, William
Hogan, Sr. and William Hogan, Jr.. (Ex. 285(d))
This case was
dismissed.
In a further example of the Local's failure to take
serious steps toward self-reform, the Local's leadership failed to
comply with an IBT auditor's recommendation that the Local hold the
requisite number of Executive Board and membership meetings. The
IBT Constitution requires that Local unions hold a total of nine
Executive Board and nine membership meetings each year. 227 Despite
the requirement in the Local Bylaws and the IBT Constitution that
the Local hold nine membership meetings each year, between 1985 and
1995, the Local's practice was to hold Executive Board and
membership meetings only in the following six months: February
through May and November and December. (Ex. 136 at 14; Ex. 226 and
(Ex. 308 at 8-9)
same industry if possible. And if not, we would try to
find them a permanent job that would not be related to
the trade shows, but would take them more or less out of
the public eye and at that point De Pietto indicated to
me that he wasn't interested in that at all.
227
Article XIV, Section 2(a)(1) of the IBT Constitution
requires a Local to hold monthly general membership meetings
except, upon membership approval, such meetings can be suspended
for a three month period between June and October. Section 18(A)
of the Local 714 Bylaws contains a similar provision. (Ex. 163)
Article XXII, Section (2)(a) of the IBT Constitution provides that
"[M)eetings of Local Union Executive Boards shall be no less
frequent than meetings of the Local Union."
120

253)
During an IBT audit conducted at Local 714 in August
1995, the auditor discussed with Secretary-Treasurer Hogan, Jr. and
President Hogan the Local's failure to conduct the requisite number
of meetings. (Ex. 135 at 14-15; Ex. 1 at 15-16; Ex. 289) However,
despite this issue being raised in August 1995, the Local failed to
hold Executive Board or membership meetings in September and
October 1995 and January 1996. (Exs. 226 and 253)
During his May 29, 1996 sworn examination, William Hogan,
Jr. testified that Local 714 planned to hold nine meetings in 1996
as the IBT Constitution requires. (Ex. 1 at 15-16) However, there
was no Executive Board meeting or membership meeting in January
1996. (Exs. 226 and 253) This is further evidence that, as with
previous statements, the Local's claims of self-reform are empty.
In addition, according to the audit records, the IBT
auditor advised the Local that the Local Bylaws, which the
International approved in August 1973, had to be updated. (Ex. 289)
However, it does not appear that the Local has taken any action to
update the Bylaws since the IBT audit in August 1995. (Ex. 226 and
253)
IV. RECOMMENDATION
Because Local 714 is not being run for the benefit of its
members, it is recommended that Local 714 be placed in
trusteeship.
121

APPENDIX C
Comparison of Wages in Trade Show/Movie .
Division to Wages at Other 714 Employers
The unskilled positions. in the Local's trade show/movie
division are among the highest paid jobs within the Local.
According to the Local employer list dated September 14, 1995,
fifty-four Local employers employed forty or more Local members.
(Ex. 132) 1 The positions in the trade show/movie division ranked
among the higher paid positions within this group. (Ex. 160) This
applied to wages for comparable work. For example, a review of the
twenty-eight collective bargaining agreements which covered
forklift drivers revealed that the trade show division forklift
drivers were the highest paid forklift drivers in the Local and
were paid $3.75 more per hour than the next highest paid forklift
drivers. (Ex. 162)
The highest paid positions within the Local appear to be
the 447 registered pharmacists employed at American Drug
Stores/Osco. (Ex. 132; Ex. 136 at 38) 2 In addition, the 3,900
1
Of the fifty-four employers who employed more than forty
members, three were excluded based upon the job skills required to
obtain the bargaining unit positions. Of the fifty-one remaining
employers, two agreements covered salaried employees for which no
hourly rate was provided and nine agreements could not be used
because the hourly rate could not be determined from the agreement.
Accordingly, forty collective bargaining agreements were used in
the analysis.
2
In 1996, the weekly pay for the registered pharmacists was
$1,210. (Ex. 159(a))
1

Local members employed in the Cook County Corrections and the Cook
County Sheriffs Departments were also among the higher paid
positions. (Ex. 159(b) and (c); Ex. 132) Since the members at
these three employers held skilled positions, their pay rate was
not compared to the less skilled workers in the trade show division
jobs.'
The lowest paid trade show worker's hourly rate compared
to the hourly rate of the highest paid workers at the other forty
Local employers revealed that workers in the trade show division
were among the highest paid workers in the group, including highly
skilled workers with other employers. (Exs. 155, 159 and 160) 4
Approximately 3,600 Local members were employed at the forty
companies used in the analysis. (Exs. 132 and 160) Only three of
the forty collective bargaining agreements contained workers who
were paid more than the lowest paid trade show workers. (Exs. 155,
159 and 160)
Under the trade show division collective bargaining
agreements, the forklift drivers and freight handlers are the
3
Robert Hogan, the business agent for the trade show
division, testified that an individual does not have to have any
particular skills in order to work in the Local's trade show
division. (Ex. 136 at 41) Local 714 member Michael Deal also
testified that as far as he knew there were no specific skills or
licenses to become a member of the trade show division. Rather, he
testified that, "[y]ou just have to have a strong back." (Ex. 35
at 11)
4
In this analysis the trade show division contract was used.
Local 714 members on movie productions are paid a similar hourly
rate. (Ex. 1 at 37)

lowest paid category. (Ex. 155) 5
Their hourly rate in 1996 was
$17.70. (Ex. 155 at 14) 6 Workers at only three of the forty
employers used in the analysis were paid more than forklift drivers
in the trade show division. (Ex. 160) At one of these companies,
Pyramid Mouldings, the leadperson, who was the highest paid
employee, was paid $18.50 per hour. (Ex. 159(d); Ex. 160) In
contrast, a forklift operator at Pyramid was paid $10.64 per hour,
$7.06 less than a forklift operator in the trade show division.
(Ex. 159(d); Ex. 162) The other two companies, Nunc, Inc. and
Elkay Manufacturing employed skilled tool and die makers who were
paid hourly rates of $18.25 and $18.56 respectively. (Ex. 159(e)
and (s); Ex. 160)
At the other thirty-seven employers used in this analysis
the highest hourly rate in the contracts ranged from $8.05 at
United ReManufacturing to $17.65 at Rexam Release. (Ex. 159; Ex.
160) 7 Accordingly, the lowest paid trade show workers were paid
between $.05 and $9.65 more per hour than the highest paid members
under the other collective bargaining agreements. (Exs. 159 and
160)
Moreover,
the forklift operators in the trade show
5
For example, under the trade show collective bargaining
agreement in 1996 the higher paid positions, dockmen and traffic
men, stewards and chief stewards are paid $18.30, $19.25 and $22.25
per hour respectively. (Ex. 155 at 14)
6
This rate did not include $.65 which was included in the
hourly rate for the workers under the trade show contracts to
compensate them for vacation time. (Ex. 155 at 14)
The highest paid employee at Rexam Release was the
electronics leadperson. (Ex. 159(f))

division were paid the highest hourly rate of any forklift
operators employed in the Local. (Exs. 161 and 162) The forklift
drivers covered under the trade show collective bargaining
agreement were paid between $4.50 and $10.75 per hour more than the
other Local 714 members employed as forklift drivers. (Exs. 159,
161 and 162) In addition to the trade show contracts, there were
collective bargaining agreements with approximately twenty-seven
other companies covering the job classification forklift or lift
drivers. (Ex. 162) 8 The hourly rate for the forklift drivers in
the other twenty-seven contracts ranged from a low of $6.95 per
hour at Universal Metals to a high of $13.20 per hour at Metron.
(Ex. 162)
In addition, the weekly pension fund contributions to the
Central States Pension Fund for forklift drivers covered under the
trade show contract was $55 in 1996. (Ex. 155 at 14) The
contributions employers make to the Central States Pension Fund
for forklift drivers covered under the other contracts ranged from
a low of $13 per week at Midwest Metallics to a high of $37 per
week at Brockway Standard. (Exs. 159, 161 and 162) 9 As a result,
under the trade show collective bargaining agreements, employer
8
These companies included the following twelve which employed
more than forty employees: Allied Metal, Empire Galvanizing,
Fullerton Metals, Feralloy, Macrotech Selastomer, Metron, Midwest
Metallics, National Materials, Pyramid Mouldings, Railway
Industrial Services, Brockway and Universal Metals. (Exs. 159 and
162)
9
Ten of the Local 714 employers which employed forklift
drivers made contributions to the Central States Pension Fund on
behalf of employees. (Ex. 162)

contributions to the Central States Pension Fund made on behalf of
the forklift drivers were between $18 and $42 more per week than
the contributions for other Local 714 members employed as forklift
drivers. (Ex. 162)
