Commentary: Don’t Be Too Quick to Bet Against Los Angeles DWP Union Boss Brian D’Arcy
From the Los Angeles Times, in a commentary by Patt Morrison:
“Brian D’Arcy heads the DWP’s biggest union — and draws electricity himself, as a lightning rod in L.A. civic politics.
“The head of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union Local 18 did not show up at an audit meeting to explain how $40 million in ratepayer funds were spent at two DWP-related nonprofit trusts, which he co-managed with DWP chief Ron Nichols (the trusts were meant to improve labor relations at the DWP).”
