The Village Voice had an intriguing editorial about the Carpenters Local 157 union. Apparently the local is infested with corruption, and not just recently either. The editorial reports:  \u201c\u2026the Carpenters union has been unable to climb out of a 30-year-long quagmire of corruption.\u201d But just as troubling, William Callahan, the union's court-appointed independent investigator, had this to say to Carpenters union chief, Douglas McCarron:  \u201c\u2026Local 157 as \u2018a mismanaged mess where [business agents] come and go as they please, following few, if any, rules.\u2019\u201d Sadly, in an instance like this when the union hierarchy turned its back on its own, it goes to show that union bosses are more concerned about their own well-being than actually respecting the rights of the workers they claim to \u201crepresent.\u201d"}
