It never ceases to be entertaining to round up the latest incidents of cookie jar theft because the corruption well never runs dry when it comes to unions:
- An SEIU operations manager received a two-year prison term for embezzling over $500,000 in union dues and using that money for vacations, parties, video games, and a stunning array of other personal expenses. Attia Little also created a fictitious company through which to funnel some of these funds.
- A Laborers’ International Union of North America treasurer was convicted of embezzling over $90,000 and using that money for personal expenses, including a car, during his fifteen years of tenure.
The UAW’s absolutely corrupt presidential election sprouted another leg with accusations of a newly installed local vice president, Vail Kohnert-Yount, securing her position and $174,000 salary following a $25,000 donation to Shawn Fain, who sits on the brink of being declared victor in the presidential race. Speaking of that race, rank-and-file candidate Will Lehman continues to hammer away at abysmal turnout as proof of the union’s voter suppression tactics.
