Somebody said there were more receipts; and that all if these were found during a half day visit to the finance department. Maybe you guys should go back.
I doubt this was a one week loss of control at Eagle ALPA. I'd lay strong odds the $$$'s would be dozens and possibly hundreds of times what this little snippet reveals. Considering these people have been in power for years, I wouldn't be surprised to see the financial malfeasance break the six-figure level. The stories I've heard are not just about the leadership turning union funds into their personal piggybank of excess, but alleged attempts to cover it up and/or impede the persuit that followed after it was revealed. The stories being told are truly disturbing if true and supposedly there is a possible criminal investigation underway, but not sure of the specifics as the person alluding to this cannot divulge details. If there is criminal wrongdoing, I hope accountability results. At the very least, I think it's just another example of how out-of-control ALPA has become as a responsible organization and IMO, they can now add a complete lack of oversight of their MEC's to their list of obscene faliures. Aside from requesting repayment of what's been found so far and apparently cutting off union funds to those implicated until that is accomplished, ALPA nataional has obviously made no attempt that I see to have them removed from their positions, which is shocking considering what might be below the tip of the iceberg if someone is willing to dive a little deeper.

Disgusting from stem to stern, it is.
