{{about|the American labor leader|the Dutch portrait painter|David_Beck}} '''Dave Beck''' (June_16, 1894-December_26, 1993) was an American labor leader, president of the International_Brotherhood_of_Teamsters from 1952 to 1957. Born in Stockton, California, he worked his way up in the Teamsters hierarchy and contributed significantly to expanding the union on the west coast of the US, especially in Los_Angeles. In 1957, he was called to testify before the US Senate_Anti-Racketeering_Committee and questioned about misappropriation of funds. He refused to answer over one hundred of the committee's questions and soon resigned his post, succeeded by Jimmy_Hoffa. Later that year, he was received a three year sentence in a Washington state court for stealing $1900 from the union. In 1959, he was convicted in federal court of income tax evasion. He went to prison in 1962, was Paroled in 1964, and Pardoned by US President Gerald_Ford in 1975. {{US-bio-stub}} {{start box}} {{succession box| before=Daniel_J._Tobin| title=President of Teamsters Union (IBT) | years=1952-1957| after=James Riddle "Jimmy" Hoffa }} {{end box}} Category:Presidents_of_the_International_Brotherhood_of_Teamsters Beck, Dave Beck, Dave Beck, Dave Beck, Dave De:Dave_Beck
