The United Auto Workers says it is preparing a response to a member of the dissenting caucus inside the union who is requesting financial information concerning misappropriated funds by and legal fees for union leaders and staff amid a years-long federal corruption probe into the UAW.
“This is kind of a test of the membership’s ability to police our own union,” said Scott Houldieson, chair of the Unite All Worker for Democracy caucus and a member of Local 551 in Chicago.
