The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local's current legal director was disbarred from the practice of law over 20 years ago.
Edward C. Chew III is the Executive Assistant to the President and Legal Director of UFCW 1776. Chew is also the Chairman of the UFCW Local 1776 Legal Trust Fund.
The Supreme Court of New Jersey disbarred Chew from the practice of law “for the knowing misappropriation of client funds” in 1992. According to the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Review Board’s website, Chew remains ineligible to practice law in the state of Pennsylvania.
Chew was admitted as a member of the New Jersey bar in 1985, according to court documents, and at least seven instances of misappropriation took place between 1989 and 1990 in which Chew diverted more than $40,000 in client funds to his own personal bank account
...
Chew was employed with the UFCW as early as 1996 and now is one of their highest-paid officials. He made $168,702 in 2013, or $188,023 with disbursements.

so, it sounds like he is well-qualified for a union leadership post with fiduciary responsibilities ... what’s your point? :)
Presidential material in the Democrat Party.
The usual line is that the mob no longer controls unions. That may or may not be true, but I’m certain unions are infested with the criminal element. They have to be or they wouldn’t survive.
Sounds like the perfect Dem candidate for Secretary of the Treasury.....................
I was briefly a member of UFCW when I was young. The past-president of our local had just gone to jail.
I think simply “disbarred” is all that’s necessary.
