FAIRBANKS, Alaska—
A labor organizer and an assistant attorney general are facing new charges.The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://bit.ly/y0fQXy) says 31-year-old Skye Rubadeau McRoberts is accused of filing forged interest cards in the name of University of Alaska employees.
The cards are used to determine if the employees will vote on whether to unionize.
Prosecutors say McRoberts stood to enrich herself if a union vote went through because she owned a mailing service that would have profited by the increase in mail generated by an election.
She is charged with felony forgery and falsifying business records.
McRoberts' friend, Erin A. Pohland, is facing a charge of official misconduct for allegedly failing to investigate or report her friend.
The two women previously pleaded guilty to shoplifting shoes at an Anchorage Fred Meyer.
