The story below happened in Wisconsin, just like Union-busting legislation did:
Read the story & then think about:
How does someone successfully
write 12 to 15 checks to themselves
and not get caught?
Is this the type of leadership we want
in office for the next four years?
Is the person I am supporting,
going to support US-OUR Union?
Denise Crerar has been charged in the Outagamie County Circ. Ct. with stealing more than $264,000 from the Wisc. Regional Council of Carpenters. According to the criminal complaint, Ken Clark, exec. director of United Bhd. of Carpenters Local 1056, returned early from a Jan. business trip and saw a pile of checks on his desk all made payable to Crear. When confronted, Crear admitted that she had been writing 12 to 15 checks to herself each week since March 2001. Allegedly, she also kept more than $2,500 in testing fees from union members, and stole between $5,000 and $10,000 from the petty cash fund. [Capital Times, 3/23/04]
This happened while James Moore was in power. What really sucks is that he is STILL in power.
ReplyDeleteIt is a matter of trust. They trusted her, now where were the trustees that allowed that? Shouldn't they have seen that when they reviewed the bills? Their job is to review them AND approve them before the delegates rubber stamp them.
