Union officials and their employees are not immune to gambling fever. And a good many in recent years have resorted to stealing to feed their habit. So it has been with Claraliene Gordon, former president of the Camden Education Association (CEA), an affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA). On November 15, Gordon was indicted in New Jersey state court for diverting nearly $15,000 in union funds for personal use. She allegedly had spent thousands of those dollars on gambling trips in Atlantic City.
