Reviews
Reiman's book is both a history of Teamster members' struggles to reform their union, and a guidebook for younger activists determined to revive the union movement. Ron Carey was GUILTY- guilty of fighting, courageously for over 40 years, for union democracy and against both corporate bosses and union corruption. And a jury of his peers in a federal trial made it clear that Carey was INNOCENT, of all fake, trumped up, fraudulent charges against him. Read Ron Carey and the Teamsters, the tale of one of America's great working-class heroes., Ken Reiman's 'Ron Carey and the Teamsters' is a sympathetic and frank portrait of the former Teamster president who in 1997 led one of the country's largest strikes and was then driven from union office by the powers he had challenged. Reiman has talked to everyone, read everything, and provides a comprehensive account of Carey's life as he dealt with the challenges of the Mafia, the Teamster Old Guard, UPS, and the government. We come away having met an honest man who was ensnared in the net woven by big business, government, and the Teamster Old Guard. If he was defeated, still we admire him for having worked to create a union that fought for its members., An inside look at Ron Carey, using extensive interviews of his close advisors, blended with a Teamster member's outside view. As much about reform efforts in the fight against mobbed-based corruption, as it is about Carey himself, this book recounts the story of the Teamsters' 1997 membership mobilization - which acted as the basis for the 2023 outstanding contract campaign at UPS., An interesting read by a working Teamster who participated in Ron Carey's rise with a rank and file movement. And Reiman details Carey's fall: a hard lesson in what happens when professional consultants are substituted for that movement., Reiman has brought Ron's story to a new generation of labor activists faced with the unfinished task of revitalizing and reforming the US labor movement. The book will help ensure that Carey's singular role will be remembered -- and rightfully honored -- long after his critics and detractors have been forgotten., Ken Reiman's Ron Carey and the Teamsters is a sympathetic and frank portrait of the former Teamster president who in 1997 led one of the country's largest strikes and was then driven from union office by the powers he had challenged.

As much about reform efforts in the fight against mob-based corruption, as it is about Carey himself, this book recounts the story of the Teamsters' 1997 membership mobilization - which acted as the basis for the 2023 outstanding contract campaign at UPS., Books about union presidents are usually penned by professional writers -- either academic historians, labor journalists, or paid flacks. Past accounts of the life and work of labor organization chiefs like John L. Lewis, Walter Reuther, Jimmy Hoffa, or Cesar Chavez have run the gamut from hagiographic to constructively critical. Few have had a biographer whose view of their leadership role is rooted in firsthand experience as a blue-collar worker in the same industry and union. Ken Reiman's personal connection to the subject matter of Ron Carey and the Teamsters (Monthly Review Press, 2024) resulted from his long career as a UPS driver and activist in the local union that Carey led before becoming president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) in the 1990s. Reiman's insights into the workplace culture and organizational politics of IBT Local 804 in Queens, New York, before, during, and after Carey's presidency provide a rank-and-file perspective on the challenges of institutional change in organized labor over the past fifty years... , "An inside look at Ron Carey, using extensive interviews of his close advisors, blended with a Teamster member's outside view.

Reiman shows us that Carey didn't suddenly morph into a reformer - he was the real deal from the beginning."--Tom Leedham, 1996 running mate to Ron Carey; former Director of Warehouse Workers, The '97 UPS strike, that Ron Carey led, revived a dead labor movement with action, not bluff. Reiman shows us that Carey didn't suddenly morph into a reformer - he was the real deal from the beginning.
Synopsis
Probes the enduring impact, and devastating fall, of one of the greatest union organizers of the 20th century In this riveting account, retired UPS driver and unionist, Ken Reiman, gives us the first in-depth portrait of Ron Carey as he rose from a local union officer in the mid-1960s, to president of what was, in 1991, the largest labor union in the United States. For many years, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters was one of this country's most corrupt unions, with close ties to organized crime. Hundreds of officers drew enormous salaries while doing no work. Pension funds were drained to build Las Vegas casinos. Ultimately many Teamster leaders were either sent to prison or killed. But because he was willing to put members first, Carey and the Teamsters were able to defeat UPS and the major trucking companies along with their many enemies in the mob, in corporate boardrooms, and in the halls of Congress. In the process Carey tangibly transformed the lives of countless workers. Drawing on transcripts from court hearings, public records, newspaper references and over fifty first-person interviews--including several off-the-record conversations--Reiman brings us the untold story of Carey's meteoric rise and demise., Probes the enduring impact, and devastating fall, of one of the greatest union organizers of the 20th century In this riveting account, retired UPS driver and unionist, Ken Reiman, gives us the first in-depth portrait of Ron Carey as he rose from a local union officer in the mid-1960s, to president of what was, in 1991, the largest labor union ......
