TRENTON — The president of a local chapter of the Communications Workers of America has stepped aside amid an investigation into the disappearance of money from the local’s coffers, a union representative confirmed Friday.

CWA spokesman Joshua Henne confirmed the local’s President Lionel Leach has stepped aside while the investigation continues.

“Recently, Executive Board members of CWA Local 1039 — one of CWA’s 30 local unions in New Jersey — notified the national union of allegations regarding the mismanagement of that local. CWA takes any allegation made by members very seriously,” Henne said in a statement.
