June 2004 On the Level British Columbia Carpenters Union Newsletter
California retirees applaud Council
Dear Sirs:
We, the members of Carpenters Retirees Club #20 of Orange County, California, were a chartered organization of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. I say were because since Douglas McCarron took over we are no longer recognized as chartered.
Nevertheless, we wish to send to you our congratulations for standing up to Douglas McCarron and stopping him from taking over the British Columbia Council of Carpenters. We applaud you taking him to court.
Our Local Unions, 2203 Anaheim and 1815 Santa Ana, never had a chance to fight. They came in and put everyone out of the union offices and padlocked the doors. They confiscated the money in the bank, plus the building, selling it and pocketed the money. Not a move suggesting a democratic organization.
We have been asking for a raise in the monthly pension for 15 years and have not received an increase even though there was plenty of money in the Trust, which now seems to be disappearing. None of the politicians we have asked for help seem to be able to help us.
So we congratulate you for taking your problem to the courts and winning over Douglas McCarron. We would appreciate hearing from you. Maybe we could use some pointers from you on pursuing your objective.
Thank you.
Edward Santry
President, Retirees Club #20, Irvine California------------------------------------------- posted 7:30 AM :: reference link ::
