General President

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners

101 Constitution Ave., NW

Washington DC 2001

 

President McCarron,

We, the undersigned members in good standing of the UBC, demand you and the UBC International conduct an internal investigation into the allegations of corruption; self-dealing; violations under the UBC Constitution; violations under the LMRDA and violations under ERISA, listed in the Ballantyne lawsuit, Superior Court of New Jersey Essex County, Docket #L-007232-18. In particular, but not limited to, the allegations against Frank Spencer and Michael Capelli, who you recently promoted. Regardless, of any “deal” the UBC made with John Ballantyne, the allegations of corruption against Spencer and Capelli did not go away. Some of the allegations made by Ballantyne have already been proven with a simple review of UBC financial documents. Therefore, we as members of the UBC also question your choice of promoting Spencer and Capelli.

 

We demand confirmation or denial, with documented PROOF, of the allegations against both Capelli and Spencer. If any of these allegations of corruption; self-dealing; violations under the UBC Constitution; LMRDA violations, and ERISA violations are found to have merit we demand their immediate and permanent removal from any and all offices they hold within the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. We demand if any of these allegations of corruption; self-dealing; violations under the UBC Constitution; LMRDA violations; and ERISA violations are found to have merit, the UBC seek full financial restitution from Capelli and Spencer, as well as others that may have conspired with them, as allowed under the law.

 

We the undersigned members also challenge your motives and the legality of the UBC in seizing, and dissolving the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters (Council). Was dissolving the Council a legal trusteeship or justified merger? Or was it an act to silence John Ballantynes exposure of corruption allegedly being perpetuated by UBC International Officers.

We, the undersigned members in good standing of the UBC, are aware of the corruption allegations listed in the Ballantyne lawsuit where Frank Spencer, Michael Capelli, and you Douglas McCarron, are named as defendants. These corruption allegations are under investigation now by the US Attorney’s Offices in New Jersey; The United States Department of Labor (OLMS), and a Grand Jury seated in Newark New Jersey. We demand both Spencer and Capelli, and any and all that may have conspired with them, be removed from any UBC position pending the outcome of these investigations.

 

We, the undersigned members in good standing of the UBC, also demand that no UBC member’s money in any form be used to pay for Frank Spencer’s or Michael Capelli’s legal fees in defense of these allegations or because of the investigations by the Department of Labor or the US Attorney’s Office. It is rumored Frank Spencer has retained Williams and Connolly LLP the UBC law firm in NY. This is a clear conflict of interest on the part of Williams and Connolly who have been paid by UBC member’s dues money for legal fees to represent UBC members and UBC holdings. The UBC International alone paid Williams and Connolly over $546,000 in legal fees in 2018. It is hardly just or ethical for Williams and Connolly to represent Spencer who is accused of alleged corruption and stealing from UBC members. If Spencer has indeed retained Williams and Connolly a complaint will be filed with the proper Federal Agency.

It is our understanding that the corruptions allegations listed in the Ballantyne Lawsuit to include:

Theft from a union fund in violation of ERISA

(1) Spencer associate, Fred Mehilic, paid as a fund ghost employee

(2) Frank Spencer’s brother-in-law, Fran Weikel, was paid from both the Northeast Pension Fund and the Northeast Apprenticeship Fund, despite Weikel admitting to a Council attorney he never worked for the Northeast Apprenticeship Fund. Spencer attempted to hide Weikel’s payments from the Northeast Fund’s Trustees.

UBC international officers attempting to control and interfering with the Northeast Funds in violation of ERISA

(a)   Frank Spencer ordered the conversion of Gerry Spencer’s annuity payments to a pension

(b)   Spencer and Capelli interfered with the employment of Fund Administrator, George Laufenberg accused of fraud and self-dealing.

(c)   Spencer attempted to order a union member and Fund Trustee to commit fraud against the Fund. Spencer attempted to order a Fund Trustee to commit fiduciary breach, regarding Weikel.

(d)   Spencer and Capelli conspired to cover up fraud and self-dealing by Northeast Apprentice Fund employees, Thomas Sommers and John McKay.

(e)   Spencer and Capelli conspired to interfere with the operation of the Northeast Apprenticeship Fund, by engaging in Retaliatory malice against Northeast Fund director, Ridgley Hutchinson, for exposing Fund corruption.

(f)    Spencer and Capelli intimidated, harassed and persecuted Northeast Fund Administrators, and employees, to promote continued fraud against the Northeast Funds.

(c)             Capelli conspired to cover up fraud and self-dealing by Northeast Apprentice Fund employees, Thomas Sommers and John McKay.

 

We, the undersigned members, in good standing of the UBC, demand copies of any and all documents related to the UBC Internationals attempts to verify or deny the allegations in the Ballantyne Lawsuit. We must conclude, by your actions, that you President McCarron and the UBC International, have taken the position that both Frank Spencer and Michael Capelli are vindicated of all the allegations of corruption; self-dealing; violations under the UBC Constitution; LMRDA violations, and ERISA violations. Surely, the UBC International verified the allegations in the Ballantyne Lawsuit before any consideration of promoting Spencer and Capelli were made. If any such investigation was made and a “vindication” conclusion reached, we demand to review all details and documents related to the UBC Internationals’ attempts to verify or deny the allegations in the Ballantyne Lawsuit.
