Times Square at nightLawrence DeAngelis might not have figured to be running Communications Workers of America Local 14170 as long as his predecessor had. But his tenure surely was too brief for his liking. On July 21, DeAngelis was sentenced in Manhattan federal court to a year in prison and fined $3,000 for stealing more than $60,000 from the union, which represents print shop and mailroom employees at several New York City-area daily newspapers, including the New York Times and the New York Post. He had pleaded guilty in April following a Labor Department investigation.

Newspaper truckIt's getting hard to find an honest man at Communications Workers of America Local 14170. The union, which represents several hundred print shop and mailroom employees at several New York City-area daily newspapers, including the New York Times and the New York Post, now can count its former president and interim administrator as admitted embezzlers. On Wednesday, April 21 Wayne Mitchell pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to embezzling more than $200,000 from the union, also known as Mailers Local 6, which he'd led for decades before his ouster a couple years ago. Two days later on April 23, his appointed successor, Larry DeAngelis, pleaded guilty to stealing $60,000 from the union. Each faces a maximum of five years in prison.
