Another Win for Canadian Autonomy BC Carpenters Union
On January 19th an appeal panel of the BC Labour Relations Board upheld an earlier judgement that validated the BC Carpenters Union push for Canadian Autonomy from its American parent organization, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBCJA).
Loss of the appeal by the Washington DC based UBCJA effectively thwarts their main legal objections to the BC Carpenters Union campaign to transfer all its union certifications to a new all-Canadian entity called the Construction Maintenance and Allied Workers Bargaining Council (CMAW).
However, until the Board deals with a few outstanding and secondary UBCJA objections, all the CMAW ballots remain sealed and uncounted.
“Our members want their votes counted,” said Len Embree, President of the BC Carpenters Union. “This latest win at the BC Labour Board proves that we are slowly pulling Canadian Autonomy out of the desperate claws of the American eagle.”------------------------------------------- posted 12:49 PM :: reference link ::
