Ron Carey and the Teamsters

Ken Reiman presents a compelling biography of Ron Carey, who ascended from a local union officer in the 1960s to the presidency of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the largest labor union in the U.S. during the 1990s. The book explores the union's history of corruption and ties to organized crime, contrasting it with Carey's commitment to prioritizing workers' needs. Through extensive research and interviews, Reiman reveals how Carey challenged powerful adversaries, ultimately transforming the lives of countless workers before his own downfall.
