Ohio Boss Accused of $4,800 Theft
Stanley M. Bennett was charged Apr. 24 with embezzling $4,833 from
Int'l Bhd. of Teamsters Local 473 and Dayton (Ohio) Mailers Union Local
1137. He was secretary-treasurer of the Mailers Local before it merged
with the IBT Local. He was a union steward after the merger. From May 1997
to Mar. 1998, he allegedly stole $2,588 in members' cash dues. He concealed
the theft "by making false entries of receipts in the dues log or failing
to record the amount received," according to U.S. Dist. Court records.
Reportedly, Bennett also wrote union checks totaling $2,245 "for the personal
benefit of himself and not that of the union." [Dayton Daily News 4/25/01]
