On February 25, Anthony Edmunds, former president of United Auto Workers Local 2419, was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois to three years of probation and one year of home confinement for embezzling $19,482 in funds from the Danville, Ill. union. He also was ordered to pay full restitution and a $100 assessment. Edmunds had pleaded guilty last October after being indicted in December 2017. The actions follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
