On December 15, Dawn Colley, former office employee of United Steelworkers Local 8-719, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky to concealing her theft of funds from the Ashland, Ky. union. She then was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay $4,200 in restitution, on top of the $7,446 she previously had paid, plus a $25 special assessment. Colley had been indicted in October for embezzling $7,201. The actions follow a probe by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
