From the Department of Labor:
On July 25, 2022, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, Douglas Kelley, former Secretary-Treasurer of Steelworkers Local 7750 (located in Gardendale, Ala.), was charged with one count of embezzlement from a labor organization, in violation of 29 U.S.C. 501(c), for embezzling $18,011 from his union. He then pleaded guilty to the charge. The charge and guilty plea follow an investigation by the OLMS Atlanta-Nashville District Office.
