On March 17, Jesse Madrigal, former treasurer of the Independent Oil and Chemical Workers Union, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas to two years of probation and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment for embezzling $24,227 in funds from the Kansas City, Kansas-based union. He had pleaded guilty last November. Madrigal already had made full restitution in the amount of $30,607. The actions follow an investigation by the Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
