Kevin McCaffrey won back the presidency of his Teamsters union local, regaining the $106,000 union post that he had lost in November following cuts to members’ pensions.
McCaffrey, minority leader of the Suffolk County Legislature, retook the position as head of Teamsters Local 707 in Nassau County by a vote of 525-455, according to ballots opened Wednesday. The election was rerun because ambulance company employees originally did not get their ballots.
Local president John Kelder, the president who had beaten McCaffrey by six votes in November, said he would challenge the revote.
“There were plenty of irregularities,” Kelder said. “We’re appealing the decision and we expect to persevere.”
