UAW President Goes On Leave Of Absence As Corruption Probe Closes In Around Him

UAW President Gary Jones is taking a leave of absence as the federal corruption probe into the union's top leadership escalates.

The paid leave is effective Sunday, a day before voting on a new contract begins among Ford's UAW employees.

A source said a message, described as shocking, was sent after 9 a.m. Saturday from the office of the president addressed to UAW staff personnel requesting a leave. It was granted by the union's International Executive Board. There are about 500 UAW staffers nationwide.

He has changed his residency to NYC so when they come for him there is no longer any bail and the wacko mayor offers felons sports and movie tickets as incentive to show up on court date.

If he is guilty which sure sounds likely, I hope he goes to jail for many many many years. People like this hurt the working man, ruin trust in what should be institutions dedicated to looking out for the worker. I am not anti Union but I am anti corruption in any form.
