Letter to carpenters from Carl Biers Association for Union Democracy
Over several decades, AUD has learned that it is not enough to rely on a lawsuit to win back your rights. Members must mobilize at the grassroots to turn up the heat on the International. That's what Carpenters for a Democratic Union did in New England, winning enough council delegate positions to elect the lead plaintiff in the case, Thomas Harrington, to the Executive Secretary Treasurer postwhile the case wends its way through the courts. That said, there is also more to do on the legal front.
The Petition
Many of you have been asking us how to go about appealing for direct elections in your regions. The first step is to submit a request to your regional council. Alan Hyde has drafted a sample letter for this purpose. However, it will be much more effective if the letter is submitted as a petition, with many signatures. Coordinating such a petition effort could be the work of the regional contacts. Feel free to contact AUD for more advice on using the petition.------------------------------------------- posted 5:20 AM :: reference link ::
