AFL-CIO Council's Flap With Chao Stalls Its Debate Over Ullico But the council decided to wait until a special committee of "disinterested" Ullico board members releases its findings, expected in the next few weeks. In the meantime, Robert A. Georgine, Ullico president and former president of the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Dept. (BCTD), is scheduled to appear March 10 in District Court in Washington, D.C., to explain why he has not responded to a U.S. Labor Dept. subpoena requesting documents relating to the stock transactions, including the independent report.
Separately, the council also agreed to grant additional time for discussions with the carpenters' union about reaffiliating with the labor federation before enforcing the AFL-CIO constitution. Carpenters' President Douglas J. McCarron withdrew the union from the AFL-CIO in March 2001, a move that cost the union its affiliation with BCTD. The carpenters and building trades reached agreement in December for the union to reaffiliate, but the AFL-CIO constitution prohibits a union from membership with an affiliated department if it is not a member of the federation.------------------------------------------- posted 8:05 PM :: reference link ::
