On June 30, Michael Schofield, former secretary-treasurer of Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Local 1046, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to falsifying financial records in order to conceal embezzlement of $31,850 in funds during 2012-13 from the Plainfield, Ill. union. Schofield had been charged in a one-count information a week earlier. The actions follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
