At the National Level the main players in the teamsters in the late 70s and 1980s were the Genovese, Kansas City and Chicago Families... Detroit and the Luccese family were big players at the national Level up until the 60s but that power had started fading somewhat w the removal of Hoffa out of the presidency and the Lucchese giving up Local 282 and other locals to the Gambino Family...BUT when Cleveland wanted Jackie Presser to take control of the International in the early 1980s, they went to Nick Civella first, then to Joey Auippa and Jackie Cerone and finally to 116th St in East Harlem and Tony Salerno
