UAW, US Attorney reach settlement to reform union after corruption scandal
DETROIT โ The United Auto Workers and the U.S. attorneyโs office in Detroit said they reached a settlement following a federal corruption investigation thatโs stretched on for years. The goal of the settlement is to reform the union in the wake of a bribery and embezzlement scandal. The deal includes federal oversight for years to come and a critical vote by the rank and file. Federal authorities did not issue fines or penalties against the union, saying it would take away from members. UAW President Rory Gamble said while a dark chapter is now closed, heโs still disappointed by officials who stole from union members.
