UAW STATEMENT ON GM APPEAL OF FCA LAWSUIT

“The UAW is unaware of any allegations regarding illicit off-shore accounts as claimed this morning by GM “on information and belief”, nor has the U.S. Attorney’s Office, or anyone else, ever raised this type of allegation with the UAW. If GM actually has substantive information supporting its allegations, we ask that they provide it to us so we can take all appropriate actions.  If any such payments were made or such bank accounts exist, it would obviously be a gross violation of the law, the UAW Constitution, and the oath and responsibilities of anyone in UAW leadership. Under President Rory Gamble and the current International Executive Board, we continue to implement the highest ethical standards and transparent processes that protect our members’ and their sacred dues money.”
