Leaders Of Truckers` Union Sue Former Officials  October 28,
1992|By William B. Crawford Jr.  Reform leaders of the
independent Chicago Truck Drivers Union filed a federal civil
racketeering complaint Tuesday against two of the local`s
previous top officials, charging them with cronyism, paying
themselves inflated salaries and buying $1 million in coal and
oil stock that now is worthless.  The lawsuit filed by the
incumbent leaders of the small West Side trucking local accuses
Paul Glover, the union`s former vice president and general
counsel, of padding union payrolls with close associates, paying
exorbitant commissions to a broker who handled union investments
and unfairly enriching himself by simultaneously drawing
salaries from the independent local and two affiliate locals.
