On July 28, Curtis Lang, former president of United Dairy Workers of Le Mars, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa to one year in prison, six months of home confinement and three years of supervised release for embezzling funds from the Le Mars (near Sioux City) union. He also was ordered to pay $95,223 in restitution and a $100 special assessment. Lang had pleaded guilty in May to one count of embezzling union funds in the amount of $45,040 after being indicted in March. The actions follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
