At last nights meeting of Local 157 brother Mike Bilello asked Supervisor Spencer about the dissolution and merging of 15 Local Unions in the Pacific Northwest. Spencer claimed he had no knowledge of it and he didn't want to discuss it.
Below is General President McCarron letter to Vice President Mike Draper, outlining the plan to dissolve and form new local unions affiliated with the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters.
Further proof why you can't trust anything Frank Spencer has to say!

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.

ALLOW ME TO BE THE FIRST,
ReplyDeleteRAN BY A MAN OUT OF HIS MIND
Any details on the meeting itself. What was discussed. What details on the Interior System Local. 100% mobility mentioned??
ReplyDeleteRich, I lost my notes from the meeting on the train ride home. Let me get my thoughts together and I will post what happen at the meeting.
ReplyDeleteAlso I know you have not agreed with Anon, but let me say this...I did meet him at the meeting and I wish we had video of him, The guy was on a mad tear attacking Spencer. It was verbal fisticuffs and Anon won the match, He left Spencer looking silly unable to answer his questions.
You would have love to have been there!
I am going to file a complaint with the DOL on the mergers as a member of the UBC. In my opinion the right to dissolve under 6a is only legal and to be used after a Trusteeship is imposed under the statutes of the LMRDA. I want to force the DOL to make a ruling on it.
ReplyDeleteIf McCarron and the UBC can dissolve locals at will why do we have trusteeships statues at all. The LMRDA statutes are not there just to allow an International to impose trusteeships. They are there to protect our locals from being seized and raped by an International just as McCarron is doing now. This scum is bypassing the Trusteeship and going right to the rape.Anybody agreeing and willing to make a joint effort let me know.
Lets test the waters
Just to let you guys know in the nw, that this is happening nation wide.Oh yeah, they probably told you after they screwed you. All of us just got screwed in Kansas City, but only ellected officials of 6 locals know about it. Letter was sent to us 4 days prior to meeting to be there. They couldn't tell us when letters were going to be sent to all members,or any of the details of what was going to happen to union halls. They did know who was going to which of the 2 locals. That's a relief at least they know something. Wish I could start something not knowing anything and make stuff up as I go.
