On July 7, Larry Haislip, former financial secretary for Local 09-7509-S of the United Steelworkers of America, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee to six months probation for embezzling union funds in the amount of $1,702.97.  His real take, however, was much higher; the court also ordered him to pay $49,428.78 in restitution.  The sentencing comes after a Labor Department investigation.  (OLMS, 7/16/07).

Few observers gave Janett Humphries much of a chance when she decided to take her case to trial.  In the end, even she didn’t give herself much of a chance.  On November 13, the 63-year-old former president of Service Employees International Union Local 99 pleaded guilty in federal court to charges she had embezzled more than $30,000 from her union to help finance Martin Ludlow’s successful 2003 run for Los Angeles City Council.  She used the funds to pay for travel expenses and a cell phone for Ludlow’s campaign staff, plus personal air travel costs.  Ludlow stepped down from his council post in 2005 to head the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, but pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge early this year.  Sentencing for Humphries is set for next February.  She already has pleaded guilty to separate local charges.  (Associated Press, 11/14/06).
