Congressman Asks For Investigation Of Brunswick Union Merger News4Jax.com, Georgia
Following a meeting with members of Brunswick's Carpenters and Millwrights Local 865 May 11, Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., has requested the U.S. Department of Labor investigate allegations by union members that they are being forced to merge with a Savannah union.
Kingston said Local 865 was forced to merge with Local 256 in Savannah by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Local 856 has since filed a lawsuit in Federal Court to halt the merger, claiming it is the target of unfair practices and an attempt to raid its treasury.
'It's hard to understand why Local 865 would be dissolved when it has money in the bank and owns a building and property,' Kingston said in a statement. 'I just want to make sure that these men and women are getting a fair shake so I have contacted the Labor Department and asked that they review what is going on.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:53 AM :: reference link ::
