"Union official charged with larceny
A union official representing 400 Brockton city workers has been charged with making nearly $20,000 in unauthorized withdrawals from a union bank account. Susan Elliot of Lakeville, former secretary treasurer of Local 1162 of the Laborer's International Union of North America, which represents clerical and public works employees, is charged with larceny over $250. She is scheduled for arraignment in Brockton District Court on May 5. Authorities allege Elliot, 47, used the union's ATM card on numerous occasions to remove money from the account between September and February. The Enterprise of Brockton reported that the missing money was discovered during a routine audit. Elliot allegedly told police she intended to repay the money (AP)."
