Former AFSCME Secretary Linda Rogers Pleads Guilty of Crimes

Linda Rogers, the former Secretary/Treasurer for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 2254 pled guilty of charges on January 12, 2021. She was up against charges of embezzlement where she was responsible for the loss of about $40,455. However, she wasn’t the only one involved in the scandal. Her daughter, former AFSCME member Jennifer Rogers, helped her with the Scandal. When it comes to union corruption, we often find that there’s more than one person taking part in the deed.

From the Department of Labor:

“Between July 2016 and August 2017, Rogers’ daughter Jennifer Rogers, former member of AFSCME Local 2254, illegally wrote 111 checks to Linda Rogers and deposited them into their joint checking and savings account. Linda Rogers also wire transferred union funds from the union’s savings account to her personal credit card.  The total loss to the union was approximately $40,455. The guilty plea follows an investigation by the OLMS New York District Office and the Department of Labor’s Office of Inspector General.â€
