    In ILA Local 1694-1, Wilmington DE, a new administration was elected, January this year, in a clean sweep. Among the successful insurgents was Dave Clements, elected as business agent-organizer of this 300-member local. A rocky start! The former president charged Clements with slandering him, but the local threw out the charges. Upon appeal, says Clements, the ILA district council tried him in absentia, found him guilty, and suspended him for 60 days as of July 20, this year.
