ASSEMBLY MEMBER WHO ALLEGED CARPENTERS RETALIATED,PLACED TRACKING DEVICES ON HIS CAR SETTLES LAWSUIT
Assembly member Anthony Verrelli and four other former carpenters union employees have settled a years long lawsuit that alleged they were punished, surveilled and ultimately fired for supporting efforts to combat corruption and discrimination in the union.
The terms of the lawsuit’s settlement were not disclosed in the April 18 letter from Seth Ptasiewicz, a lawyer for the union, to state Superior Court Judge Cynthia Santomauro.
On behalf of the parties, I am pleased to advise the Court that on this date, the parties have reached an amicable resolution in this matter,” Ptasiewicz wrote.
The three-count lawsuit was filed in December 2020 against the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, its subsidiary the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters and its leader, William Sproule. The suit alleged violation of the state’s whistleblower law and retaliation in violation of the Law Against Discrimination.
The union, a major player in New Jersey politics that has donated millions to aid Democratic campaigns, has garnered negative press attention and scrutiny from federal investigators in recent years.

So lets remember that WILLIAM SPROULES
Also settled a case where HE and the entire council leadership
KNOWINGLY PARTICIPATED IN THE ACTUAL ACTIVE EXTORTION OF MEMBERS.... AND is still employed.
Sooo.. the ppl who blew the whistle on corruption get fired... And the corrupt stay in place.
Its been over kids.
Get out. They are going to steal everything.
It doesn’t matter what these guys do, how much bad press they get, how many people know they’re scum bags, etc., etc., they don’t care.
Sproles is useless.
Hey billl like we dont know your secreatary has a car paid for by thevmembers. Not a legitmate expense as per lamda and your it to. There looking billy boy cant wait to that breaks
Sprolles does not care how much ofvthe members money get paid out !
As of 6:30 this morning George Norcross is stepping back from politics.
Does that mean they aren’t going after him in civil court because they settled?
Going after who in civil court??
Norcross walking away from the political spotlight can’t be as simple as it’s just his time to step away? Sure he took a drubbing politically losing the Sweeney race to a truck driver but he’s lived a charmed life playing multiple political hands at once. Retiring to the civilian life isn’t a normal choice for people like him. It’ll be interesting to see how this wraps up.
Agreed.
There is no way this egotistical sociopath is " walking" away... Unless it is in lieu of going away for a long time...
This is a petty, patient, vindictive , wealthy , murderer, and tax evader. If he was " convinced" to step aside by his insiders... Id love to see the charges..
People like him do not walk away... It will be interesting indeed to watch him in proxy using a very woke trish to do his bidding.. ya ever wonder who Zoes daddy is?
