UAW President Gary Jones is taking a leave of absence as the federal corruption probe into the union's top leadership escalates.

The paid leave is effective Sunday, a day before voting on a new contract begins among Ford's UAW employees.
 
A source said a message, described as shocking, was sent via text at 9:15 a.m. Saturday from the office of the president addressed to UAW staff personnel requesting a leave. It was granted by the International Executive Board. There are about 500 UAW staffers nationwide.

Nice to know unions haven't changed that much.  Still the same corruption.
