The one-time head of the San Antonio firefighters' union allegedly threatened to release sensitive personal information about four fire department staffers if they applied for the city's vacant fire chief position, arrest records show.Steele, 57, who retired from the San Antonio Fire Department in 2021, was unavailable for comment Thursday.
“Rest assured that any information provided and the nature of these allegations will be held in strict confidence and will not be disclosed unless you decide to pursue the Fire Chief position, at which point it may be necessary to further assess these matters,” the email said, according to police paperwork.According the arrest documents,"Frank" sent additional email and text messages to the employee even after city officials sent a cease-and-desist letter to the email address.
Under Steele's leadership, the fire union waged an unconventional and frequently ugly battle with city officials for much of 2018 as the organization sought a new labor contract. During the fight, the union swayed voters to pass a pair of charter amendments that hastened the talks' move into arbitration and that prompted the departure of then-city manager Sheryl Sculley.
