Power struggle brewing in L.A. County sheriff’s deputies union
It appears there’s a power struggle brewing in the union for rank-and-file Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies.
Earlier this week, the union put out a statement announcing that it had removed its president, citing problems with his attendance. According to sources familiar with the union’s inner-workings, the supposedly ousted president, Armando Macias, showed up at a meeting Wednesday and insisted on running it.
Reached by The Times on Thursday, a union representative declined to say who is now the union’s president.
Macias did not respond to requests for comment.
The management shake-up at the Assn. for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, one of the larger law enforcement unions in the state, comes as members consider a potential endorsement in the upcoming sheriff’s election.
