'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'
On Wednesday August 5, 2009, federal authorities charged New York carpenters union leader Michael J. Forde, seven other union officials, a contractor, and contractor’s representative with 29 counts of corruption, including racketeering, fraud, bribery, and perjury. The indictment says that, together, they stole millions of dollars from the union and its benefit funds. In exchange for bribes, the union officials allowed contractors to pay union members cash wages below union scale with no benefits, hire illegal aliens and nonunion workers and forgo benefit funds contributions.
This is a must read for all union Brothers and Sisters who care about The Carpenters Union.

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.
