Union Leader Arrested - for supporting union members??

What? Richard L Trumpka, president of the AFL-CIO was arrested during a hotel worker's protest? The Los Angeles Times reported on January 8, 2010 "Earlier this week, he was among those briefly arrested during a noisy protest outside a San Francisco Hilton, where management is enmeshed in difficult negotiations with the hotel workers union".

Compare and contrast Trumpka's actions and arrest in support of the union workers, with those of Operating Engineers, Local 68, President, and Administrator of the Local 68 Education Fund, Dennis J Giblin. Mr. Giblin was arrested January 21, 2009, on a criminal Complaint charging him with receiving kickbacks and embezzling from the Local 68 education fund, Acting U.S. Attorney Ralph J. Marra, Jr. announced.
