Resolving the strike against General Motors may be harder because of an internal corruption scandal inside the @UAW dailysign.al/30ofocK via @KevinMooneyDC @DailySignal
@UAW @KevinMooneyDC @DailySignal Vance Pearson, 58, the UAW’s Region 5 director, was arrested and charged Thursday with embezzlement, money laundering, and other offenses as part of a federal investigation, according to a report in the Detroit Free Press.
@UAW @KevinMooneyDC @DailySignal Pearson attended the union negotiations with General Motors on Sunday, which was three days after he was charged by federal prosecutors, the Detroit News reported.
@UAW @KevinMooneyDC @DailySignal Andrew Donohue, a special agent with the Labor Dept, said in an affidavit the investigation had found evidence of a “multi-year conspiracy” by UAW officials who sought to embezzle union funds for the purpose of acquiring “luxury items and accommodations” for their personal use.
