IT’S TIME TO FINISH THE JOB BC Carpenters Union
Union Carpenters confirm their commitment to democracy
At the 61st Convention of the BC Provincial Council of Carpenters held in Vancouver, November 25 to 27, nearly 100 delegates and alternates from Local unions around the province resoundingly upheld recent efforts to complete wresting control of their organization away from the International Union in Washington, DC, and reaffirmed their faith in the leadership of Len Embree, re-electing him President for another three-year term.
Council President Len Embree outlined the challenges still facing the British Columbia membership, especially in the face of raids being mounted by the “International” — the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America — against BC Local Unions, and promised that the BC Carpenters Union will remain united on the issue of autonomy. “It’s time to finish the job and rebuild our union the Canadian way,” he told the convention. “We will remain united on the issue of maintaining our autonomy.”------------------------------------------- posted 7:13 AM :: reference link ::
