What’s that old saying?? “One bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch”?????
where were the trustees??????
What about all the Vegas union hall leaders of local 2502 that went several years without paying dues themselves? If they did that, until they got caught, what else are they doing that we don’t know about.
Keep dem dues coming and don’t pay mind to a few that have been caught.
