The office of the District Attorney in New York City conducted raids on a number of newspaper offices Tuesday in search of evidence in a union corruption probe. Newspaper delivery drivers from the 1,600 member Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union is the focus of the probe, though the union leadership has been unavailable for comment, except to say that they are cooperating fully. The search affected the circulation offices of several small newspapers, as well as the New York Daily News, the New York Times, El Diario, and the New York Post. The Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union exists within the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which has said it will not be involved in the probe.
