Barrington Man Sentenced for Union Heist
A 37-year-old Barrington resident has been sentenced to two years of probation for stealing nearly $14,000 from a labor union.
Gregory Paradis, the former president and senior steward of the Seabrook Nuclear Security Officers Association, was found guilty of stealing $13,493.90 from the union between May 2011 and December 2012.
Paradis used a debit card assigned to the union’s account to make cash withdrawals at ATM machines and purchase items for his personal benefit, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
The investigation, led by the Seabrook Police Department and the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Management Standards, revealed that Paradis initially denied the thefts and blamed the account discrepancy on a bank error.
However, after an extensive investigation, Paradis eventually admitted to the crime and helped determine the amount of money he stole.
As part of his sentence, Paradis was ordered to repay the full amount of $13,493.90 to the union.
The case was prosecuted by AUSA Robert Kinsella and imposed by United States District Court Judge Landya B. McCafferty.
Paradis’s actions have left the union and its members shaken, and the case serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in labor unions.
