Until someone gets me a source that says Jimmy Flynn was convicted on any charges regarding the snack-truck incident, I'm editing the page to include the "reputedly", "allegedly" and "reported" disclaimers. Innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, the fact that one of the sources is the notoriously anti-union National Right to Work Foundation calls into question the neutrality and credibility of the author(s) of the article. Also neglected is the fact that the "owner-operator" of the snack truck was also a union member-- of IATSE. I corrected that, but it's further evidence of the "all unions are evil" bias of the author(s) of that portion of the article. Jimmy Flynn may well be a gangster and a thug, and the history of corruption in Teamsters Local 25 is, lamentably, true (I speak as a former Local 25 member), but an article that aims to smear the entire labor movement based on notoriously biased anti-labor sources such as the Boston Herald and the National Right to Work Foundation just doesn't cut it in terms of Wikipedia's NPOV policy. Despite the corrupt elements, there are many good members and leaders in that Local and certain editors here mean to defame all of them through their patently anti-union propaganda.
