A messy public feud between carpenters' union General President Douglas J. McCarron and his brother, Southwest regional council chief Mike McCarron, that resulted in an executive management shake-up and finger-pointing charges with legal implications, has rocked the 500,000-member union and related building trades.
The carpenters' union placed the Los Angeles-based council, which includes six states and 31 locals, under emergency supervision amid non-specific charges of financial irregularities, malpractice, intimidation and wrongful conduct noted in a July 19 letter to Mike McCarron. The international removed the younger brother as executive secretary-treasurer.
Michael V. Draper, the national union's western district vice president, was named acting council supervisor pending an internal union trial, set to start on Sept. 9 at the union's Las Vegas training center. Eastern District Vice President Frank G. Spencer will hear the charges.
Michelle McCarron who is an attorney and daughter of Mike McCarron, attempted to join the Carpenters Union for the second time on September 4, to help her father, but was prevented by two staffers from the International.
Why are the men on the 9th and 10th floors of the Carpetner’s Freemont Street building so afraid of having Michelle join?

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.

Voluntarily stepping out of a gig in the Calif. state Dept to become a carpenter, lets see is this a McCarron racket to influence that department for how long now, & his daughter comes to the legal rescue as his advocate, being a member, at his trial.
ReplyDeleteThis needs to be addressed by the brotherhood and McCarron can be taken down.
Family helping family.Elevated to the highest positions within the UBC.Kinda reinforces the adage of who you know,not what you know.We have the same sort of issues in the M.R.C.C. there are a lot of positions filled with folks of the same name,marriages ,and the like.But yet market share is only 21% and I need more training to keep working.I say the UBC and MRCC execs have failed me more than I have failed them.
