State officials acknowledge that the indictments will not eliminate corruption at the 45 privately run DMV agencies and state-run driver testing sites, and that they are unlikely to gather enough evidence against every problem employee to uphold an arrest. In those cases, they will dismiss private employees, who can be fired for any reason.
State workers, however, are protected by union contracts and entitled to administrative hearings before dismissal. In cases of insufficient criminal evidence against state workers, DMV Director Diane Legreide said the division will try to build administrative cases to warrant dismissal.
Fox met with union mob representatives Monday morning and asked for their cooperation in rooting out problem workers.
