    charges filed by UBC against local98.com owner local98.com a non UBC site
    What do you do when The Truth hurts?

    Well if you are afraid of The Truth, then you do your best to cover it up with lies and illegal procedures. It seems that is exactly what a high ranking official of the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters did today at an executive board meeting in Spokane. Charges of causing dissension among the members of the United Brotherhood were brought against the owner of local98.com for telling the truth and assisting his Union brothers and sisters here at local98.com.

    This official is also intimately involved with the pension fund of the Washington, Idaho, Montana Carpenters-Employers Retirement Trust and under his reign, pension rates have dropped to an all-time low of $11.00/month for each 1,500 hour year worked. Under this official's guidance, it now takes a Spokane area carpenter 25 years to receive a pension of $250.00 per month. That amount is horrendous and it is not surprising that anyone remotely responsible for this disgraceful act would want to keep it a secret, especially if they were corrupt. Fortunately, The Truth can be had here at local98.com and the exercise of our free speech rights is a daily occurrence.
