Message from the Office of the Inspector General

Click to enlarge.
On April 1, 2011 Michael Mitchell was sentenced to 60 months imprisonment by Judge John G. Koeltl in the United States District Court Southern District of New York. The charges against Mr. Mitchell result from his actions as a shop steward working for On-Par Contracting.

This sentence follows charges that were filed on March 27, 2008 by District Council investigators for UBC constitution violations that include violating the obligation. The District Council Trial Committee found Mr. Mitchell guilty of these charges and imposed a $10,000 fine and a lifetime steward suspension from the union.

On January 31, 2011 new charges were filed against Mr. Mitchell for his violation of the UBC Constitution and District Council By-Laws by the Office of the Inspector General. These charges include: violations of the UBC Constitution Section 51 (6) Defrauding the United Brotherhood or any subordinate body, 51A (12) Violating the Obligation and Sections 2 and 12a of the District Council By-Laws. Further investigation into the defendant’s case alleged that he intentionally provided false information with the intent to mislead the District Council Investigation.

Furthermore, on May 20, 2009 Mr. Mitchell did admit, in open court, to accepting bribes in return for filing false shop steward reports to the carpenters’ union for On-Par job sites in Manhattan. The District Council trial date for the new charges is pending and we await a resolution in this case. All carpenters are innocent until proven guilty.

The Inspector General’s Office remains focused on investigating all violations to the UBC Constitution, District Council By-Laws and collective bargaining agreements. Charges will continue to be filed against all suspected violators.

    How is this piece of dogshit an inspector general? He couldn't find his ass with his own hands. Scott Danielson was the one who dispatched the stewards all those years so Dennis wake up and stop insulting the membership with all this procedural nonsense and throw this FUCK in jail already!

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.
