2024 government union corruption pt 10: Final group of criminals
So, we will conclude this 2 week series with the final 4 cases, which are all from the American Federation of Government Employees. These folks were all arrested for embezzling funds from government employee dues, which was probably an idea gotten by the waste of these dues in being the funding mechanism of the Democrat Party and a few select uniparty Republicans. This entire series in both substack and on a playlist for those who want to see the entire criminality of the administrators of these various unions.
These 4 cases are from various states and various government agencies, which lines up with the union itself. Some of these folks represented have valid jobs, which makes these crimes worse. Thankfully, these criminal administrators were caught, with hopefully will mean they will not be allowed a chance to steal from people who work for their money again. As has been seen in this series, there is an abundance of people wanting to scam workers in this nation.
