Union leader arrested, charged with bribery
The president of a national railroad employees union was arrested at his Ohio home on Tuesday and charged with bribery.

Edward Rodzwicz, who heads the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, is accused of soliciting and accepting $20,000 in bribes from a St. Louis lawyer. In exchange, prosecutors say, Rodzwicz allowed the lawyer to remain on a list of attorneys approved to handle injury cases for union members.

That attorney was supposed to be removed from the list due to alleged ethical violations.

2. There are idiots in every walk of life

There are several elected union officials charged with bribes, misuse of funds, etc. every year.

Maximum penalty for the guilty.
