International Union Getting Desperate In Fight Against Canadian Autonomy BC Carpenters Union
“Our members are smart enough to smell a rat so the US-trained UBCJA agents have resorted to last-minute bully tactics. It’s quite pathetic,” says Len Embree, elected President of the 7000 member Provincial Council.
Previously, Provincial Council members had voted overwhelmingly to leave the UBCJA and to chart their own course as an autonomous Canadian union.
“The UBCJA is getting desperate because they have made just over a dozen raid applications but they need to get all of our 110 union employers in the next five weeks for the US-funded campaign to be successful,” says Embree.
Embree says that, by law, the UBCJA has only two months to raid the Provincial Council’s construction sector. The raiding period concludes December 31, 2004.
“After Christmas the UBCJA agents should just pack their bag full of dirty tricks and go home,” says Embree. “All they’ll have in their stockings is a lump of coal.”------------------------------------------- posted 7:09 AM :: reference link ::
