Carpenters break away from international union By Pavlina Napastiuk, Prince Rupert
Ken Lippett, president of the local carpenters union, says he supports the B.C. Carpenters Union's move to "sever ties" with their international parent, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
According to Lippett, 83 per cent of B.C. members voted last week to tear away from the Washington, D.C.-based union.
"Right now we're in a fight with those guys," said Lippett. "We've had it with those guys. They're continuously interfering with Canadian affairs. They're totally unwilling to grant us autonomy. They've never really played a positive role in our relationship with them."------------------------------------------- posted 6:35 AM :: reference link ::
