On March 28, William Price, former president and financial secretary of United Paperworkers International Local 1762, was indicted in the Superior Court of Dougherty County (Ga.) for theft of nearly $100,000 from the Albany, Ga.-based union. Price, 46, during 2003-09 allegedly stole funds from the local, which is a United Steelworkers affiliate. Initially, Price left the city when he heard there were arrest warrants in his name. He was later arrested, and posted bond. The indictment follows a probe by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
