Check it out - share this link with your carpenter friends!

Here is an excerpt from the ISSUES tab in the main menu that refers to the situation in St Louis:

3. UBC should use resources to organize the un-organized rather than the members of other unions.

In 2010, the Carpenters chartered a local in St. Louis, Missouri - not to take advantage of new and additional work in their own crafts, but to steal work from existing electrical workers in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Although they promised more work and better pay to the workers, the UBC was actually offering contractors labor at sub-standard wages and benefits. The IBEW and fellow building trades united in protest and continue to warn everyone - Beware of Carpenters Bearing Wires!

Newsflash

"We firmly believe that the energies of the Building and Construction Trades unions should first be directed to organizing the craft workers in the markets they used to represent, before they divert their members hard-earned dues in efforts reach out to workers they lack the knowledge to represent and the skills or resources to train."

Statement of United Brotherhood of Carpenters General President Douglas J. McCarron in response to AFL-CIO Resolution 70 - Hey Dougie, practice what you preach!
