Six Building Trades unions to form new organization - ILCA Online
The National Construction Alliance, which will launch March 1, will represent about 2 million workers, O'Sullivan said. The organization will incorporate four key reforms that were rejected by the national Building Trades, he said:
1. Weighted voting, based on per capita membership, giving unions that have more members more influence in decisionmaking.
2. Changes in the methods for resolving jurisdictional disputes among the trades.
3. Streamlined budget and more effective use of staff.
4. Executive director to head the organization - instead of an elected president - to 'take the politics out of running' the alliance.
