| Description | DETROIT/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Detroit said on Monday it will announce a civil settlement with the United Auto Workers to “reform the union” after a corruption investigation ensnared two former UAW presidents.
U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider and UAW International President Rory Gamble will announce the proposed civil settlement with the UAW at 1 p.m. EST (1800 GMT) in Detroit, his office said.
Schneider’s office has charged 15 former UAW officials as part of its investigation, and former presidents Gary Jones and Dennis Williams both have pleaded guilty to embezzling union funds.
The UAW represents about 400,000 U.S. workers, including workers at Detroit’s Big Three automakers and in other fields. The union at its peak in 1979 had a membership of some 1.5 million. |
