On February 14, Christy Coppin, former office secretary of American Federation of Government Employees Local 2250, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma to one count of theft in the amount of $52,738 from the Muskogee union, which represents employees at the VA Hospital in that city. She had been indicted in January. The actions follow a probe by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
