BLUSTERER Dave Beck, the
Teamsters’ big noise in Seattle,
got it in the neck when a 2-1
vote of 15,000 Boeing workers
turned down his mob. A lot of
the plant votes, too, came from
who had crossed the [AM

ing “he'll appeal until he wins,”
but for our money he’s had it in
Boeings. Not before time, too.
