From the guide to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Records, 1989-1992, (Manuscript Division Library of Congress)

Thirteen rank and file teamster members from the New York City area brought suit in the Federal District Court to secure an injunction which would prevent the holding of an election for president of the international, charging that the election of delegates to the union's convention had been "rigged" to assure the election of James R. Hoffa.

This was the beginning of the litigation which resulted in over 40 cases reaching the appellate courts. Hoffa was eventually elected, and a Board of Monitors appointed to supervise the actions of the executive board.

From the guide to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Bergan, Raymond W. Teamster-monitor litigation in the Court of Appeals, 1960., (Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation and Archives, Martin P. Catherwood Library, Cornell University.)
