Lawsuit alleges $4M in unauthorized payments by St. Louis carpenters union
The former leader of St. Louis' carpenters union directed $4 million in unauthorized payments for the purchase and construction of billboards, and entered agreements creating an undesirable tax burden, a new lawsuit alleges. And it claims the ex-leader, Al Bond, used union funds for personal expenses and got an unauthorized payroll check.
The litigation, filed last week in federal court in St. Louis against Bond and two companies, gives more detail about the Chicago chapter of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America's assertion that Bond, former St. Louis executive secretary-treasurer, misappropriated union funds and defrauded the brotherhood. Earlier this month, it filed internal charges against Bond, a proceeding that could threaten his pension.
The national union, based in Washington, D.C., has said that it dissolved the St. Louis-Kansas City Carpenters Regional Council in September "to increase oversight of operations, reduce costs, maximize available resources and increase market competitiveness." The then-local leader, Bond, was ousted, and the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters took over locally, boosting its membership by 20,000.
The new lawsuit, from the Chicago chapter, now called the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, alleges that Bond, on behalf of the St. Louis council, in January 2020 entered an agreement with Interrail Outdoor LLC for the purchase and construction of three digital billboards to be constructed in St. Louis, Kansas City and Wichita, Kansas. Only the Wichita billboard was constructed, the suit claims.
The council's executive committee that month approved the purchase, "however, Bond had already caused transfers totaling approximately $2,999,678 in St. Louis Council assets to Interrail," the suit says. After the approval, Bond paid Interrail another nearly $1.06 million of St. Louis council assets, it alleges.
But the more than $4 million in payments to Interrail weren't reviewed or authorized by the St. Louis council's trustees or delegate body, as required by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters' constitution and the St. Louis council's bylaws, the suit says.
"The amounts paid to Interrail were well beyond the standard costs to purchase and construct digital billboards in St. Louis, Kansas City, and Wichita," the suit claims.
The suit also details agreements the St. Louis council allegedly made with another company, Foxpoint Interactive LLC.
It says Mark Bohems, chairman of the Carpenters Joint Training Fund, in February 2021 granted to Foxpoint the exclusive right to sell to third parties advertising space owned by fund property at 8955 E. 38th Terrace, the council's old Kansas City office that now belongs to the Chicago chapter. As part of that deal, the fund was to get 70% of net revenue from the sale of advertising space from years one to seven, dropping to 60% from years eight through 32. Boehms, who's not a defendant in the suit, and Bond then assigned the fund's rights under the Foxpoint agreement to the St. Louis council, the suit says.
And Bond, on behalf of the St. Louis council, in June 2021 entered another agreement with Foxpoint, the suit claims, granting it the right to advertise on signage at its property at 8405 E. Kellogg Ave. in Wichita, with a similar revenue split.
A final ad agreement with Foxpoint came in July 2021, the lawsuit alleges, for the St. Louis council's headquarters at 1419 Hampton Ave.
But any revenue generated by the council under those agreements "would constitute Unrelated Business Income under the Internal Revenue Service Guidelines, which is inconsistent with the St. Louis Council's, and Union's, non-profit status and would therefore create an undesirable tax burden on the St. Louis Council and Union," the suit claims.
Bond, it continued, "violated his fiduciary duty" and didn't get approval from the St. Louis council's executive committee, trustees or delegate body "for the tax implications and expenses" associated with the 32-year Foxpoint agreements.
The suit also alleges Bond caused council assets to be spent on a personal "CPAP machine" ($1,333 in December 2020), medical expenses incurred by his daughter ($927 from November through December 2019) and Fox Theatre season tickets used by Bond and his wife ($4,514 from 2018 through 2020).
And Bond in January 2021 directed his staff to issue a payroll check to him totaling $17,899, though the retroactive salary payment wasn't properly authorized by the council's executive committee, the suit claims.
It seeks an order requiring Bond to return to the union that amount, the personal expenses totaling $6,774 and the $4 million paid to Interrail. It also wants a judge to enter a judgment against Interrail, another defendant, not to exceed the $4 million. And it wants an order declaring the agreements with Foxpoint, the final defendant, unenforceable. The Chicago chapter is represented locally by Jim Martin of Dowd Bennett LLP of Clayton.
Bond couldn't be reached for comment. Interrail, Foxpoint and the Chicago chapter didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
In a November declaration, Douglas McCarron, general president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, said that the UBC had received an anonymous complaint about the St. Louis council from a "purported former employee."
UBC representatives "were assigned to look into the allegations concerning the St. Louis Council's operations, including allegations of financial malfeasance," McCarron said then.
The local council gave heavily to political candidates and causes, including a push, ultimately unsuccessful, to privatize St. Louis Lambert International Airport's operations.
It also was involved in the redevelopment of the Jefferson Arms building in downtown St. Louis, NorthSide Regeneration's hospital project and homes near the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's under-construction new western headquarters.

Carpenters union accuses former chief Al Bond of paying millions to advertising firm without authorization
ST. LOUIS — The Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council is suing Al Bond, the former chief of the St. Louis chapter of the union, accusing him of entering into questionable advertising contracts and directing staff to give him a larger paycheck than the union’s board had authorized.
In a federal lawsuit filed in St. Louis last week, the union says Bond improperly entered into advertising contracts with two firms, Interrail Outdoors LLC and Foxpoint Interactive. It also accuses Bond of retroactively raising his salary without the board of trustee’s authorization and using union funds for personal expenses, including a CPAP machine (used to treat sleep apnea) and season tickets to the Fox Theatre.
The lawsuit is the latest indication of financial mismanagement at the once-powerful St. Louis-Kansas City Carpenters District Council, which the United Brotherhood of Carpenters dissolved without explanation in September. Bond was fired and management of the local union, for years a political force locally, was moved under the Chicago office, which was renamed the Mid-America Carpenters Regional council.
