The United Auto Workers president who led a five-week strike against General Motors last October has been charged with embezzlement and fraud as a federal corruption probe cuts further into the union's topmost ranks.

  Gary Jones is the 14th labor official to fall since the Justice Department began investigating UAW directors and Fiat Chrysler executives for engaging in a decades-long scheme to corrupt the bargaining process between the automaker and union.

  Jones has been charged with similar allegations of bribes, dodged taxes, and embezzling union funds as part of a racketeering activity—crimes of which 13 previously charged individuals—the majority of them UAW leaders—have pled guilty and are now serving or awaiting prison sentences.

But OPEIU has filed three Unfair Labor Practice complaints with the Federal Labor Relations Board during the bargaining process, Nix said. Specifically, the union alleged that the UAW-GM leaders failed to pay the OPEIU bargaining team, proposed to change workers’ health care plan and stopped bargaining at one point.
