On October 18, Frank Gluberman, former secretary-treasurer of the Greenburgh Teachers Federation, an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, was sentenced in Westchester County (N.Y.) District Court to one to three years in prison for embezzling nearly $800,000 from the union over a seven-year period. He also was ordered to pay restitution totaling $822,281. Gluberman, a former teacher and assistant principal at Greenburgh High School, had pleaded guilty to grand larceny in August 2014 after being arrested in January of that year. The actions follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
