Northeast Ohio's largest labor union has fired its leader.

The North Shore AFL-CIO Federation of Labor announced on Wednesday that it removed Daniel J. O'Malley as executive secretary. In a release, the AFL-CIO stated that the decision was related to O'Malley's "use of the federation's credit card and reimbursement practices."

The AFL-CIO's executive board met on April 12 for a "due process hearing" on charges that were made against O'Malley. The board says after a day-long hearing and nearly four hours of deliberation, it found O'Malley guilty of four of the six charges and voted to remove him from office "effective immediately."

"This was a very difficult decision on the part of our Board, but after deep review and discussion we determined that our duty to our members required this action,” said AFL-CIO Board Chair and Cleveland Teachers Union President Shari Obrenski.

In an email to 3News, O'Malley's attorney, A. Steven Dever, says his client received "unfair treatment" and his removal was motivated by personal agendas."
