GOOD FOR THE GANDER BUT NOT FOR THE GOOF

UBC CONSTITUTION Section 31(D) provides that a member cannot hold office or a position on a committee if drawing from a Carpenter’s Pension Plan

  
  IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP CONVICTED FEDERAL PRISONER MIKE FORDE IN OFFICE THE UBC INTERNATIONAL,DOUGLAS MCCARRON AND FRANK SPENCER  HAS DECLARED THAT THE PENSION REFERRED TO IN SECTION 31D IS AN 
International Pension Only

Despite Douglas McCarrons declaration that a UBC member can hold office unless collecting an “International Pension” the Department of Labor has ruled THAT IS FALSE and he as well as others are holding office in violation of the LMRDA and the UBC Constitution. The US DOL has rightfully ruled that the receipt of any carpenters' union pension within the jurisdiction of the UBC disqualifies a carpenters' union member to be eligible to be elected or appointed as a carpenters' union officer, delegate, or committee member.

The investigation revealed that the Constitution and Bylaws at Section 31(D) provides that a member cannot hold office or a position on a committee if drawing from a Carpenter’s pension plan. "The Department found that two members of the Election Committee were retirees drawing from the Local’s pension plan. The Department’s investigation revealed that the presence of the retirees on the Election Committee was a violation of the Carpenter’s Constitution and thereby a technical violation of the Act," see 29 C.F.R. §§ 452.2 and 452.109.

Sincerely,
Patricia Fox
Acting Chief, Division of Enforcement
