The probe widened to look at top union leaders embezzling union funds, money laundering and other illegal activities, which have led to discussions between Schneider’s office and UAW leaders regarding potential reforms.
In June, Gamble met with Schneider about reforming the union, including possibly using an independent monitor. Schneider said that remains on the table. He declined to comment on specific details of the talks, characterizing them as “progressing very nicely” and being “very productive.”
“These are significant people committing federal crimes and we need to make sure this union is fully reformed so that it serves the men and women who work there,” Schneider said.
A UAW spokesman declined to comment, citing the union has agreed to not speak about the discussions.
