Former McCormick Place Teamsters boss exiled from local

Crain's Chicago Business reports:
In the wake of misconduct allegations by a union watchdog, former McCormick Place Teamsters boss Robert A. Hogan has agreed to permanent exile from the local his family has run since the Depression.

Without admitting wrongdoing, Mr. Hogan recently signed an agreement with the Independent Review Board saying he’ll leave Teamsters Local 714 and never again serve as an officer, employee or member there, Crain’s has learned. A New York federal judge must approve the settlement.
No word yet from Ronald Marasso on this one.
