The FBI and U.S. Labor Department are looking into two deals involving Andy Stern — over a six-figure book contract given to the former head of the Service Employees International Union and payments to a labor leader convicted on separate fraud charges, a source familiar with the case told Fox News on Tuesday.
Alejandro Stephens, who was sentenced early this month to four months in prison and three months of home confinement for defrauding a non-profit organization in “bogus consulting agreements,” is former president of SEIU local 660 in Los Angeles.
Questioning of Stern, who is a member of President Obama’s debt commission, revolve around whether he paid Stephens $150,000 to do nothing as the local union boss. Stephens and Stern met with federal agents this summer to answer questions about the relationship.
An SEIU spokesman told Fox News that no labor official has been contacted in any way nor has received any inquiry of any kind from federal law enforcement officials regarding any investigation of Stern, who had signed off on Stephens’ contract.
But the spokesman noted that when several unions merged to form SEIU local 660 in 2007, Stephens was dropped as president. He was offered a $75,000 per year consulting job.

This guy needs a new home, I could be wrong but the size as far as I recall from a movie set I worked on was 10' deep by 8' wide. Most don't have a good view of anything but you just can't beat the set up, nice strong steel bars. How safe would this POS feel?
If I were a member of SEIU and knew that this POS gave my 401 K money to political canidate I would give him a nice swift kick in the balls, that is until he had no balls left.
What time do they have to serve for communism and destroying the constitution?
I want to see the low life trash in the peoples white house and all his criminal thugs tried and convicted for TREASON and the sentence carried out immediately. Which is to be shot by a firing squad. I do not want one penny of my tax dollars going for those worthless b-s-a-ds to clothe, feed and give a roof over their heads and the best of medical care.
SEIU, Andy Stern & Obama are all corrupt!
With stern's strong association with Obama in addition to being on his Debt Commission would lead one to think a in- depth investigation should be called for!
I predict that this Obama Administration coupled with it's Czars, Friends & Associates will go down in
The History of our Nation as the most corrupt ever.
The devil is in the details and as long as Lucifer remains in charge of this world the Andy Stern's of this world will go on doing evil and get away with it. Watch!
This crooked guy and all Union officials along with Obammy boy and his crew of crooked czars, they all need to be vrought to trial for treason, convicted, then put in front of the firing squad for each and every criminal act they performed. End of story!
