George Gresham, the president of 1199 SEIU, is accused of using union funds for personal gain in an ongoing election contest. Reports reveal he allocated substantial amounts, including $60,000 for his daughter’s caregiver services, over $300,000 for concert-related expenses, and up to $86,000 on flights to South Africa. Critics argue this pattern of financial mismanagement highlights a deeper issue of corruption, despite loyalists defending his practices as acceptable. This scandal places Gresham, who draws a $300,000 salary, at the center of a politically charged environment, especially given the union's massive influence.
Gresham's actions have sparked serious allegations as rivals claim the union leader misappropriated significant funds for personal gain amidst a contentious election.
The reported financial misappropriations include personal travel expenses and payments to allies, painting a picture of a leader using union funds for private benefit.
