ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - There’s a shakeup and an internal investigation underway at the St. Louis Carpenter’s Union as sources tell KMOX that Executive General Albert Bond has been removed from his position.
He's been removed by the International Carpenter's Union as representatives are in town this week. The St. Louis union will be under the wing of the Chicago branch in the short term.
There's an internal investigation underway into Bond's activities as the leader in St. Louis. In September 2015 he was appointed to the top executive position. Previously, he served as assistant executive secretary-treasure and business representative/organizer since 1999.
KMOX knocked on Bond's office door Tuesday morning and was asked to leave with no comment from the union.
Bond graduated from Affton High School in St. Louis County in 1977 and began his career as a carpenter apprentice in 1983. He was elected to the St. Louis Labor Council in 1986 and spent 11 years as the president of Carpenters Local 5.
This is a breaking news story that will be updated.
