‘Fat, Dumb and Happy’ at the UAW
An indictment details a multimillion-dollar corruption scheme
The union’s high-paid officials are no doubt cringing over the timing of the indictment’s release. Employees at Nissan ’s Mississippi plant are voting this week on whether to join the UAW. Those automotive workers would do well to ask if this is the kind of outfit they want to hand a chunk of their wages to.
The indictment claims Mr. Iacobelli availed himself of National Training Center money, buying limited edition gold Montblanc pens and a $350,000 Ferrari. He also allegedly installed a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and spa at his Michigan home, renovations that cost $375,000, and paid off a relative’s student loans.
The feds say they and other conspirators skimmed millions from the UAW National Training Center, a tax-exempt, Fiat Chrysler-funded entity that was supposed to help union automotive workers get job training.
