BC Carpenters Union thwarts hostile takeover attempt news release
Vancouver – The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBCJA) has cancelled its trusteeship hearings that were designed to take over the BC Carpenters Union. The American-based UBCJA had scheduled a trusteeship hearing for this week that could have resulted in the BC Carpenters Union being placed under supervision by its parent organization.
The cancellation comes on the heels of a British Columbia Supreme Court decision last week that prohibited imposing immediate trusteeship over the provincial union.
The cancellation also provides more time for the BC Labour Relations Board to decide whether a new Canadian union council has the right to represent BC workers. If the Board approves the council, BC Carpenters Union members will have made a significant move toward autonomy from the US union. The BC union voted last November to join the newly formed Construction, Maintenance and Allied Workers Bargaining Council.------------------------------------------- posted 6:44 AM :: reference link ::
