DWP union chief refuses to turn over financial records to auditor

The politically powerful head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s largest union has refused to cooperate with a city audit of two nonprofit trusts established to improve relations between management and labor at the city-owned utility.

City officials began trying to account for more than $40 million in ratepayer money poured into the nonprofits after The Times reported in September that the DWP had only scant information about how the money has been spent.

The nonprofits, the Joint Training Institute and the Joint Safety Institute, are co-run by DWP General Manager Ron Nichols and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 18 head Brian D’Arcy. At a meeting earlier this month, D’Arcy refused to turn over the institutes’ financial records for an audit planned by City Controller Ron Galperin, Nichols said.

Union thugs had a secret slush fund and will not account for the money. I say it's exotic destination vacations, drugs, booze, and hookers. And, of course, bribing elected officials.

Strike, jail, what difference does it make? They’ll never get the money back from the union officials and demonrats.

I wonder, will the government get involved with their biggest political contributor?
