On July 1, Thomas Wolfer, former financial secretary of Communications Workers of America Local 84729, was sentenced in the State of Ohio, Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas, to three years of community service, and ordered to pay $20,000 in restitution plus court costs, for theft from the Fayetteville, Ohio union. Wolfer had pleaded guilty in March to one count of felony theft. The actions follow a joint investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
