Chris Steele — who led San Antonio's fire union during its bare-knuckle 2018 contract fight — was arrested Friday on a felony stalking charge, KSAT reports.
Chris Steele lead the union during a 2018 scorched-earthy fight with the City of San Antonio for a new contract.
Steele was the public face of a protracted and often-ugly contract fight between the city and the San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association over a new labor pact. He was known for presiding over chaotic press conferences and engaging in stunts such as his last-minute cancellation of a town hall discussion with Mayor Ron Nirenberg.
Steele also faced a 1991 civil suit from the Texas Attorney General's Office, which accused him of selling financial management plans that made false advertising claims, according to court records. Two years later, "without admitting the truth or falsity of this allegation," Steele agreed to stop selling financial products that couldn't deliver on their promoted benefits, documents also show.
