BC Carpenters Free At Last UFCW Members for Democracy forum
After years of fighting oppression within their union, BC Carpenters are free at last. According to a media release issued late last week, members of the BC Carpenters Union voted overwhelmingly to give the UBCJA International Union the boot.
discussion, posted by liacatsplit:
This is tremendous news for the advocates of One Member - One Vote ! There is no better way to democratize existing internationals! Take away the delegate voting system, which is an excellent example of injustice, and give it back to the members! This is just the beginning and I see these large internationals succumbing to the member's desire to have a voice in "their" union!
Congratulations to the BC Carpenters who are blazing the trail for the rest of us, and good luck with the new alliance with CEP. You definitely have my support!------------------------------------------- posted 12:53 PM :: reference link ::
