AFSCME Local 2054
under administratorship
After
discovering financial irregularities, DC 37s parent union, AFSCME, placed
New York City College Assistants Local 2054 under administratorship in September.
The
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees imposed the administratorship
after Local 2054 officials failed to respond to a July 24 AFSCME audit report
that noted serious concerns about financial reporting, dissipation of union funds
and procedural irregularities.
DC 37 Executive Director Lillian Roberts
announced the action to the DC 37 Executive Board Sept. 9 and introduced AFSCME
New York Area Director Jim Cullen as the administrator for the local. DC 37 White
Collar Division Assistant Director Chris Wilgenkamp is deputy administrator.
We
will be working on behalf of the membership to straighten out the locals
problems, Cullen told the board.
The Local 2054 executive board suspended
President Colleen Carew-Rogers on Sept. 1, which it had the power to do under
the AFSCME Constitution.
