DETROIT/WASHINGTON - United Auto Workers President Gary Jones and his predecessor are unnamed officials listed in a federal criminal complaint detailing alleged corruption and embezzlement by union leaders, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The complaint was released on Thursday, just two days before the UAW’s contracts with Detroit’s automakers General Motors Co, Ford Motor Co and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV expire on Sept. 14, raising questions about the status of ongoing contract talks. It also referred frequently to several unnamed figures, in particular “Official A,” who is Jones and “Official B,” his predecessor Dennis Williams, the source said.This year’s talks were widely expected to be contentious, focusing on thorny issues like healthcare costs and profit-sharing at a time when U.S. new vehicle sales are declining.
Two people briefed on the matter say GM may ask for a temporary extension of the contract and could pursue other options including seeking assistance from a third party.The news concerning the identities of the union officials in the federal complaint was originally reported by the Detroit News.The UAW did not make any comment on the report implicating Jones and Williams.
