On August 10, 2009 General President Douglas McCarron placed the 25,000 member, New York City District Council of Carpenters under emergency supervision.
GP McCarron also appointed the UBC’s Eastern District Vice President Frank Spencer to lead this supervision for an indefinite period.
As controversy and corruption charges continue to swirled around, newly appointed Frank Spencer finally speaks out in a letter to the membership dated August 25, 2009, posted on the councils website today. Since the August 5th, arrest of carpenter boss Michael Forde and others on corruption charges the membership has been completely left in the dark.
Update: As of September 1, 2009 no member has received any mailed letters regarding the arrest of Mike Forde and others, corruption or the supervision.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Had enough of the Lies and Corruption? Then do something about it! We really need to make our voices heard. This is our union, these are our employees taking bribes and narcotics, hiding illegal weapons and drugs on our property, while Frank Spencer installs the person closest to the corruption, Pete Thomassen to a position of power. What is going on here? Why are we standing for this?
