UNION BLUES: New UAW Corruption Scandal Details Implicate Union at Highest Level.

As part of a plea agreement filed this week, ex-labor official Nancy Adams Johnson told investigators that Williams specifically directed union members to use funds from Detroit’s automakers, funneled through training centers, to pay for union travel, meals, entertainment, and more. If true, the accusation not only implicates the UAW of corruption at the highest level but also the potential involvement of staff from both Ford and General Motors — something the FBI is already looking into.

I believe the official industry term for something like this is a “shit show.”

Based on my experience with Teamsters in the steel industry, I wouldn’t be surprised if the official term for something like this is “union business as usual.”
