International unions provide better benefits, training, safety - Letter to the Editor, Daily Commercial News, Canada
In the letter, CLAC is presented as a legitimate alternative to the long-established international building trades unions. In reality, however, CLAC merely plays hand-maiden to employers by negotiating employer-specific agreements and lumping all trades into one contract.
Traditional building trades unions like the Operating Engineers, Boilermakers and Carpenters, to name just a few, have solid reputations and track records of representing workers, providing proper training for apprentices and working towards better health and safety.------------------------------------------- posted 5:56 AM :: reference link ::
