Lichtenwald Resigns All Offices

[ABFwife]

Bill Lichtenwald is no longer a Central States Fund Trustee and is leaving his union positions with Toledo Local 20, Joint Council 41, and the Ohio Conference. He has even forfeited his status as a delegate to the IBT Convention in late June.

Lichtenwald was blasted in a corruption report issued by the Independent Review Board last September, and then was told to resign as a trustee of the pension fund by the Department of Labor. He’s been a lame duck since then and is now taking retirement.

Gary Dunham, the president to Cedar Rapids Iowa Local 238, was appointed to fill the vacancy as a trustee of the pension fund and has been vetted by the Department of Labor and is now seated, as of June 6.

And this is suppose to make us happy? I would say it is a little late and guys like this who are doing their jobs should also forfeit their pensions for their mishandling the jobs they were placed to do. Just another scapegoat going down for the bigger fish.
