On January 10, Angela Parrish-Wilson, former office manager for Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union (RWDSU) Joint Council 932, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama to one month in prison and five years of supervised release for embezzling funds from the Birmingham-based union. She also was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $38,057. Parrish-Wilson had pleaded guilty in July to one count each of embezzlement and bank fraud. RWDSU is an affiliate of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. The guilty plea and sentencing follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
