The Nation - News from Feb. 14, 1985

The Labor Department anounced that it has agreed to terms with the Teamsters Union Central States Health and Welfare Fund in its seven-year bitter court battle in Chicago over management of the fund. The fund will recover $4.4 million under a consent decree for money it was allegedly overcharged by a claims processing firm owned by reputed mobster Allen Dorfman. The decree, to be signed today by U.S. District Judge Hubert L. Will, severs all ties between the fund and Amalgamated Insurance Agency Services Inc., the firm Dorfman owned. The suit, for $10 million, was filed in 1978.
