    3 carpenters union staffers convicted BY MARY OWEN, Detroit Free Press
    Three Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters employees were found guilty in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Thursday of misusing union funds by directing workers to build part of a home on union time.

    Sandra Williams, 45, and her husband, David Williams, 50, were found guilty of directing at least a dozen business agents to build the frame of their home in St. Clair County's China Township between December 1997 and April 1998. Sandra Williams is the union's executive administrative secretary. David Williams is a union employee.
