摘要
摘要:理查德·戈瑟(Richard Gosser)是美国汽车工人联合会(UAW)的全国领导人，与詹姆斯·霍法(James R. Hoffa)是同时代的人。两人有着相似的背景，与有组织犯罪有相似的联系，面临着类似的腐败指控，但这些指控的结果却大相径庭。霍法被国会调查委员会挑出来，他的名字成为劳工敲诈勒索威胁的代名词。在最初的一段争议期之后，戈瑟获得了作为劳工政治家的声誉。他们职业生涯的对比凸显了工会腐败调查的政治本质。戈瑟的职业生涯也为我们提供了一个历史视角，让我们了解最近动摇了全美汽车工人联合会(UAW)的腐败丑闻的根源。
The United Auto Workers' Jimmy Hoffa: The Backstory to the Current Corruption Scandal
Abstract:Richard Gosser was a national leader in the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and a contemporary of James R. Hoffa. Both men had similar backgrounds, had similar ties to organized crime, and faced similar allegations of corruption, but the results of those allegations differed dramatically. Hoffa was singled out by a congressional investigative committee, and his name became a byword for the menace of labor racketeering. After an initial period of controversy, Gosser enjoyed a reputation as a labor statesman. A comparison of their careers highlights the political nature of union corruption probes. Gosser's career also provides a historical perspective on the sources of the recent corruption scandals that have shaken the UAW.
