MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. – Macomb County Clerk Karen Spranger found herself in more trouble Tuesday night as the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Union Council has filed a motion to hold her in contempt of court.
The motion calls Spranger a "scofflaw" and claims she violated a court order by interfering with a union steward's ability to do her job.
AFSCME said the steward noticed a non-union employee doing a union job and wanted to take corrective action, but Spranger ordered her to go home.
