The United States Attorney’s Office in Detroit said on Monday the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has agreed to independent oversight to resolve a five-year federal corruption investigation that ensnared two of the union’s former presidents.
US Attorney Matthew Schneider said the UAW would pay $1.5m to settle tax issues, make significant reforms and be overseen by an independent monitor for six years. Schneider said the civil settlement caps the investigation into the union but said inquiries could continue against individuals.
“The union has had a problem with fraud, embezzlement and corruption,” Schneider told a news conference. “There are a few bad apples and those people have been convicted.”
