United Auto Workers President Gary Jones abruptly resigns amid a federal corruption investigation
United Auto Workers President Gary Jones speaks during the opening of their contract talks with General Motors in Detroit, Tuesday, July 16, 2019.
Pearson is facing criminal charges while Jones has not been charged but federal agents raided his suburban Detroit home in August.Jones, who has been a UAW member for 44 years and started as a factory worker, stepped down to let the union focus on its core mission of improving the lives of members and their families, Maffeo said.
The lawsuit alleges that Fiat Chrysler corrupted the bargaining process with the UAW in 2009, 2011 and 2015 union contracts to gain advantages over General Motors. “We are astonished by this filing, both its content and its timing,” Fiat Chrysler said. “We intend to vigorously defend against this meritless lawsuit and pursue all legal remedies in response to it.”
Authorities have said that payments were made through a training centre jointly run by the company and the UAW. Durden handled the training centre’s finances, and Brown helped run the centre.
