On June 3, the U.S. Atty.'s Office in D.C. unsealed a May 17 indictment which charged LeRoy Worley, ex-IAIW general secretary, with embezzling more than $37,000 from an employee benefit fund in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 664.  Worley reportedly resigned and retired when he was 58 and had worked between 17 and 18 years for IAIW. However, he was allegedly paid a full pension from the Iron Workers Staff Retirement Pension Fund as if he had retired at age 60 and as if he had worked 20 years for IAIW. The indictment further charged that his annual salary preceding his retirement was about $152,000, yet he was paid a pension as if his annual salary preceding retirement had been $169,184. Worley is one of nine individuals indicted in the federal probe of the union and its related funds. Seven have already pled guilty. Worley is awaiting trial as is IAIW president emeritus Jacob "Jake” West. [DOL 6/3/02]
