HOW DEEP WILL IT GO? Former UAW Official Becomes The NINTH Person Charged For Fraud

A former UAW official affiliated with the union's General Motors department faces charges for wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering in connection with a multiyear federal corruption investigation.

In court records filed Wednesday, federal prosecutors accuse former UAW senior official Michael Grimes and other unnamed UAW officials of accepting bribes and kickbacks in the form of cash, checks and other valuable items worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

From 2006 to July 2018 Grimes was a senior UAW official who "at times worked closely with the UAW Vice President and Director of the GM Department," the court filing states. UAW Vice President Cindy Estrada headed the union's GM department from 2014 until mid-2018. She now heads the UAW's FCA department. Grimes retired from the UAW in July 2018.

The UAW itself is a sham! Its one giant money grab always has only been about the money and not representing autoworkers in any way shape or form ever!

I do think any corrupt union official should go to jail. On the other hand legislators have almost legalized corruption for company said executives.

I'm shocked. Yet ANOTHER corrupt, devious slim ball Democrat party liberal union official charged with criminal conspiracy, fraud, money laundering (standard Democrat party kickback activity) and more.

And now you know why the unsecured Bondholders (UAW) were made whole during the auto industry bailout and the secured Bondholders were not.
