US gang trumps up charges against Local 1995 By Len Embree, June 2004 On the Level, British Columbia Carpenters Union
An attempt to explain all the gyrations these characters are going through in their attack is almost impossible to put into print. What I can say is that the end result is that McCarron has informed Local Union 1995 Vancouver-New Westminster that he is calling a trusteeship hearing to address - get ready for it, again - their not swearing in the duly elected officers of 1995 to allegiance to himself (McCarron), remitting per capita tax payments late, and the "killer": changing the membership number of David Wright! Oh, and I almost forgot, not giving a member (David Wright) a copy of the International Constitution when he asked for one.
All of the foregoing, of course, instigated and put into play by no other than David Wright himself. Did I forget to mention, by the way, that David Wright is an International Representative, hired by and reporting to Douglas McCarron? He most likely has a bundle of International Constitutions under his pillow. This is the same Wright who recently was appointed, along with Doug Urquhart, to act as Business Agents for the eighty-some members of Local 1907 in the Fraser Valley.
Quite humorous, but also quite sobering when it is realized that this gang from the US is prepared to place the largest Local Union in our province under trusteeship and remove officers who were duly elected in a democratic process (despite the International's well-financed campaign against them), on some phoney, trumped-up issues that McCarron's agents manufactured, and then appoint some cronies to run the Local Union on their behalf. This, all to take place in a country foreign to them. I'm not surprised, but I need to say very clearly that this is not Iraq; it's not Ontario, nor is it even Alberta. It's British Columbia - Canada! They cannot win this fight, regardless of their arrogance and presumption of power.------------------------------------------- posted 6:10 AM :: reference link ::
