“Mr. LaChance was union president from 1976 to 1980, when he resigned to go to prison on extortion, racketeering and other charges. After serving 55 months, he returned to driving his truck and working in the union. He was again elected president in 1991 and held the job until 1993, though he returned to prison for four months during that time after violating his parole by testing positive for cocaine.”
