Mickey Kasparian, president of the 14,000-member UFCW Local 135 based in San Diego, has settled four different lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct in the last year. But union members are still unhappy. Then, right away, he dismissed me [after sex]” Vazquez said in an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune.
