'BRIBE' CARPENTERS NAILED - By KATI CORNELL, New York Post
Two contractors were hammered with federal embezzlement and bribery charges yesterday in a brazen 11-year scheme to swindle the carpenters union and its members.
Patrick McCaul and James McGonnel, co-owners of Tri-Built Construction Inc., are accused of skimping on wages and benefits and using non-union labor from 1993 to 2004 - while bribing union shop stewards to overlook the contract violations.
An indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court also says McCaul and McGonnel paid off the stewards to underreport the number of carpenters present on job sites, which cut their bill for benefits.
The feds claim McCaul and McGonnel failed to pay some $6.5 million to various benefit funds of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.------------------------------------------- posted 7:40 AM :: reference link ::
