  • INVESTIGATIONS OFFICER, Claimant, -V- ROBERT C. SANSONE
    INVESTIGATIONS OFFICER, Claimant, -v- DECISION OF THE INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATOR ROBERT C. SANSONE Respondent. This matter concerns a charge filed by the Investigations Officer against Robert C. Sansone ("Sansone"), the President of IBT Local Union 682 located in St. Louis', Missouri. A hearing was held before me and post-hearing briefs were submitted. Having reviewed the evidence and post-hearing submissions, I find that the Investigations Officer has met his burden in proving the charge against Sansone. THE CHARGE: The Investigations Officer charged Sansone as follows: While President of Local 682, you acted in a manner to bring reproach upon the IBT, violated your fiduciary duties, and violated your oath, in violation of Article II, § 2(a) and Article XIX, § 6(b(l) and (2) of the IBT Constitution. TO WIT, while President of Local 682 you willfully disregarded your fiduciary duty to investigate and to act with respect to allegations and evidence that Anthony Parrino ["Parrino"], until recently the Vice President of -1- Local 682, was a member of La Cosa Nostra and associated with members of La Cosa Nostra. Specifically, the Investigations Officer charged that Sansone knew that public reports and the media had identified Parrino as a member of La Cosa Nostra, that Sansone knew Parrino associated with members of La Cosa Nostra, but that Sansone "deliberately failed to investigate or to act in connection with the allegations of [Parrino's] membership in organized crime . .." A hearing was held before me and post-hearing submissions were received. Having reviewed the evidence and the submissions of the parties, I find that the Investigations Officer has met his just cause burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence the charge against Sansone.
