Labour Board Ruling Another Step Towards Canadian Autonomy for BC Carpenters BC Carpenters Union
BC carpenters can transfer their union bargaining rights to a new Canadian union, said the BC Labour Relations Board (LRB) in a judgment issued last week.
“It is a big win for Canadian autonomy,” says Len Embree, President of the BC Provincial Council of Carpenters. “The Labour Board is allowing our members’ vote for freedom to be counted.”
The nineteen page LRB decision rules in favour of the BC Carpenters Union in their long struggle for autonomy from its US based parent organization, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBCJA). The cross-border dispute has intensified over the past decade as the UBCJA has increasingly interfered with Canadian members’ rights to elect their own officers and make autonomous policy decisions in the interests of Canadian workers.------------------------------------------- posted 7:12 AM :: reference link ::
