Federal marshals stood guard as ballot counting began in Newark, N.J., in an election designed to return a formerly mob-dominated Teamsters local to rank-and-file control after an unprecedented two-year federal takeover. The election for a new executive board of Teamsters Local 560 was the first contested balloting in the powerful northern New Jersey truckers’ union in more than two decades. The race for president pitted Ray Carney, a longtime union dissident, against Danny Sciarra, the brother of former Local 560 President Michael Sciarra, who was removed from office in the federal takeover and barred from running in the election.
