| #5 A more plausible explanation is the greed, graft, and gross mismanagement angle It should be impossible to do a story about the Teamsters, legendary worldwide for corruption, without this angle. Somehow, it happened. |

| #1 The trucking industry — almost uniformly organized by Teamsters — has suffered enormous financial losses in its pension and welfare funds due to a crippling combination of deregulation and stock market crashes, Nyhan said. With the exception of the above single sentence addressing a possible cause of this issue the entire story is about the effects. The easy answer for this omission of information is the reporter is either lazy or ignorant. A more plausible explanation is the greed, graft, and gross mismanagement angle doesn't fit into their narrative. The clue to this theory is in the subsequent solution line. The prognosis is bleak minus some new legislative help. |
