Teamsters Local 858 which represented the New York City OTB Managers (and Nassau OTB employees) was a NYC OTB Manager. He became a "Business Agent" for Teamsters Local 707 in exchange for the compelled cash stream of Nassau OTB union dues to help prop up Local 707 whose finances and pension plan are in less than poor shape.

The city’s former OTB workers finished out of the money yesterday.
Gov. Cuomo vetoed a bill that would have allowed Catskill Off-Track Betting to open parlors in the city, hiring back old OTB workers, and another bill to provide health insurance to retired city OTB workers.
District Council 37, which represented the former OTB workers, and most members of the City Council had pushed for the Catskill bill, saying it would put back to work hundreds of employees laid off when the state shut New York City OTB two years ago.
But Mayor Bloomberg opposed it, saying the city should control OTB parlors within its boundaries.
Cuomo said the Catskill bill included no business plan, adding he wants a comprehensive gambling plan for the state. He said the health-insurance bill included no funding.
