On December 2, Timothy Casperson, former treasurer of National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 249, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan to one count of stealing $9,650 in funds from the Menominee (Upper Peninsula) union. Casperson had been indicted in June for embezzlement and records fraud. The indictment and plea follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
