The United Auto Workers agreed to six years of independent oversight this month as a bridge toward bringing the five year federal corruption investigation to an end. The union will also pay $1.5 million to settle tax issues. Other stories include a report that alleges public union contracts in New York are getting approved without public input; carpenter workers who say they were fired for exposing union corruption; and a deep dive into sexual misconduct in the labor movement.
