    Corruption Officer Brings Charges against Joe Smith of Delaware Local 326

    June 9, 2026 // Smith was convicted of a DUI in 2014 and illegally drove union-owned vehicles for ten years without a valid license. After the IIO began investigating, Smith obtained a conditional license that required him to install an interlock device with a breathalyzer. But Smith installed the device on his late father's car instead of on the Ford Expedition he drove for union business. Smith is accused of subjecting the union to substantial uninsured risk, never advising Local 326 or the IBT of his arrest, and lying under oath to IIO investigators to cover up his actions. The IIO charges estimate that he has cost the union $100,000 in unwarranted payments.
