[QUOTE="Jones, post: 256693, member: 4805"] Would you mind sharing this research with the rest of us? He was not barred by the courts, he was barred by a federal oversight board which made an arbitrary decision. When he finally got his day in court, he was cleared of any wrongdoing and [URL="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F03E2D9123FF930A25753C1A9679C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=print"]acquitted of all charges[/URL]. The government's star witness was a convicted felon who was facing 20 years and a 2 million dollar fine and looking for some leniency. If he had chosen to apply for re-instatement it would probably have been granted, but by the time the trial was over he was 65 and tired of the whole thing. Ron Carey wasn't perfect, he was human and he had his flaws. In hindsight (always 20/20) you can make a pretty good case that striking in '97 was a mistake. But he was an honest guy who came up through the ranks and knew what it was like to be a working man, not some corporate lawyer trading in on his father's last name. He had our best interests at heart, which is more than I can say for the current Union Boss. [/QUOTE]
