Hmmm I wonder why our resident professional activist didn`t get a bus trip put together to sell T-shirts to help off set Gary and Vances loss in cash in their garages....

 

Perhaps a "Gofundme" and his IUAW bro's can pass the hat.

Killin me to think that our dues may have to pay for legal fees to defend these guys.Innocent until proven guilty, probably gives them the cover they need  for their legal expenses to be covered.There was a mayor of Detroit named Kwame Kilpatrick.He faced a corruption trial.He was surrounded by high priced lawyers.Kwame`s mother was a long serving U.S. Congresswoman.None of that helped Kwame,he is serving a lengthy sentence in Federal Prison.The lawyers use these cases as a gold mine when the truth is ,the merits of your case are the most important determining factor in the final outcome.Best thing Gary and the gang could do for themselves right now MAY be to plead guilty and cut a deal.?  DONT SHOOT!

The investigation is bringing out much more than the Palm Springs bullshit with the spending sprees, now the questions, are any contract negotiations not tainted from the point Denny jumped in the back pocket of his friend the “Boss”?

With GM`s fillings in Federal court that contends much more than just a group of greedy, less intelligent wanna be mobsters……

VEBA really? Will Denny still receive his salary as a VEBA board member?

 

Howes: Corruption charges mar Marchionne's FCA legacy

 "No one understood it," recalls a source who participated in the GM process."

"But Marchionne did. A month later, he stunned industry analysts at the company's capital markets day with his "Confessions of a Capital Junkie," a reasoned manifesto detailing his case for consolidation in a global industry that he said incinerated investor capital on vanity projects that seldom benefit paying customers."
 

"Undeterred, and with his friend Williams now leading the UAW, Marchionne made no secret that he still coveted GM and moved to execute what FCA code-named "Operation Cylinder." And the UAW would help him gain control, he figured, if he could persuade the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust to vote its then-8.7% stake in GM in favor of a merger with his FCA."

"Behind the scenes, the arrangement was beginning to unravel. On June 9, 2015, Barra confirmed publicly that Marchionne had sent her an email proposing a merger, and that GM directors had offered "strong support" to rebuff the offer and go it alone."

"The same day, FCA fired Alphons Iacobelli, its top labor negotiator, amid UAW-FCA national contract talks. The reason for the firing of Iacobelli, now serving a sentence of 5 1/2 years in federal prison, was unclear at the time — until he was charged for financial wrongdoing that included misusing corporate funds earmarked for the UAW-FCA joint-training center."

"And things began to unravel. Three FCA executives convicted. Seven UAW officials, including a vice president, convicted, with another vice president charged. Williams and Jones implicated in wrongdoing, forcing Jones Wednesday to resign amid a move by the union's governing International Executive Board to remove him."

"Although GM was able to successfully resist the FCA-UAW leadership takeover scheme, substantial damage from the racketeering scheme had been inflicted: direct injuries to GM that continue to reverberate and compound to this day, including higher costs and lost investment initiatives," GM wrote in its complaint. "Failing to consummate Operation Cylinder was a regret Marchionne took to the grave."

 

The membership both active and retired will pay for this shit for a long time. No matter what type of clean up process is put in place the IUAW, Regional and Local Unions can`t change the proception of what the public is now given proof of what is truly the leadership is all about and are. . The union ideology has taken a bullet to the head.... if there are any in the general public that thought the union is nothing but a pay to play, squeeze the members organization, well.... here is more to add to their claims.
