Inquiry focuses on union side salaries By H.J. Cummins, Minneapolis Star Tribune
The current leadership of Millwrights Local 548, whose 600 members work on factory and power plant equipment across the Northern Plains states, say the side salaries violated union rules. Three of the four men once were officers of the local and used their positions to help arrange this bonus pay, the current leaders say. And they have raised other questions about pension payments and, in one case, pornography on the union's office computer.
However, the head of the Lakes and Plains Regional Council in St. Paul, part of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, said the salaries didn't violate union rules, and that the millwrights approved every one of them.------------------------------------------- posted 10:50 AM :: reference link ::
