A corrupt union official?
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Taking bribes when you’re a union boss is still illegal? I thought that The One repealed that silly rule. Who knew?!

I doubt only 20,000 in bribes - sure not $2,000,000 seems 200,000 would have gone to his local politician. Maybe he did not pay enough to the local cops that are corrupt as everyone else in the system.

My first thought was that this was a shot across someone else’s bow. Nothing like a little discipline to keep the troops in line!

Let’s save FR’s precious bandwidth for true news, like reports of union officials who are NOT corrupt or communists.

Somewhere along the line the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen got off track. I’m sure they’ll engineer a comeback and not go off the rails. This guy hasn’t been conducting himself in an upright way, and will probably get kicked right in the caboose. Yes, I can’t take any more of this either. I gondola so long before I make myself sick. It’s nice that its distribution will be transcontinental. Kinda ties everyone together.

Edward W. Rodzwicz, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, Took bribes from a lawyer, steered injured workers to said lawyer. Now he's been railroaded, his career has come of the tracks and the only lite at the end of the tunnel is a train.
