On December 18, Lonzell Moore, former president of American Postal Workers Union Local 1730, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to three years of probation and 200 hours of community service for embezzling $18,857 in funds from the Des Plaines-based union. He also was ordered to pay full restitution. Moore had pleaded guilty in July several days after being charged that month. The actions follow a probe by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
