The Star Ledger reports that Governor Corzine's $6 million woman has been removed as president of the largest state-workers labor union, CWA Local 1034, by the national union.
The national union says Katz did the following:
-- Misappropriated union funds to support her own personal interests and her own union election campaign by using local dues to pay for travel and lodging and other expenses for people recruited to campaign for her.
-- Authorized -- with little or no oversight -- the use of more than $700,000 in union funds to be used for political donations, some of which went to candidates in areas where the local has few members.
-- Threatened the employment of an internal critic and retaliated against union members in violation of federal law and the CWA constitution.
-- Failed to maintain mandated time records to establish what she has been doing as the top official of her local.
A temporary administrator has been appointed to oversee the local union, pending the outcome of a July 22 hearing.
