Two retired United Auto Workers officials are to be sentenced in federal court today for extortion during a decade-old strike at the General Motors Corp. truck plant in Pontiac.
A jury convicted Donny G. Douglas and Jay D. Campbell last June of demanding that two unqualified men — Campbell’s son and the son of another UAW official — be hired in high-paying skilled trades positions if the financially crippling strike, which lasted 87 days, was to end.
