On July 20, Herbert White, former financial secretary for United Steelworkers Local 8936, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware to making a false entry in financial records of the union which until recently was based in Wilmington. Immediately thereafter, he was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay a remaining restitution balance of $23,287 and a $25 special assessment. White had been charged in March with records fraud after being charged in January with embezzlement of $24,287 in union funds. The actions follow a probe by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
