Another week and another set of union bosses allegedly or actually stealing members’ money. This week’s list of offenders goes from coast to coast. Here are the best rackets:
- In Pennsylvania, Raymond C. Ventrone, former business manager for International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local 154, was charged with one count of embezzling approximately $1,499,000 in union funds and five counts of income tax evasion.
- In Arkansas, Jeni May Hughes, former office manager for Plumbers Local 155, was charged with one count of embezzling union funds.
- In Washington, Pascale McAtee, former President of International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) Local 161-Transportation Division (TD), pled guilty to one count of embezzling over $82,000 in union funds.
