The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has removed leaders of Local 731 based in suburban Burr Ridge after an audit showed over $1 million in excess spending on things like steak dinners and booze. Teamsters general president Sean O’Brien to local members said an audit found Local 731’s board gave itself nearly $304,000 in bonuses over five years without the required approval of membership.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has turned over information to the United States Department of Labor.
