    GP threatens Council with Trusteeship BC Carpenters Union
    UBCJA General President Doug McCarron has indicated he intends to drop the gauntlet with the BC Provincial Council of Carpenters. He issued an order calling for a supervision hearing under the International Constitution for May 10 and 11, in the Delta Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond. He has appointed a Hearing Committee of William Michalowski from New Jersey and two eastern Canadians, Don Guilbeault from Ottawa and Simon Pitts from the Maritimes.

    If the hearings go ahead, they are scheduled to run from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. both days.

    Michalowski is the same person McCarron appointed to lead the unsuccessful charge against Local 1928 several years ago.
