 To Whom It May Concern,       

                     Please be advised that as of the date of this letter I resign from the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. As of this date I will no longer be bound by any Local, Council or International bylaw or rule. I will no longer be bound and will not pay any dues, assessments and financial obligations of any kind. As of the date listed you no longer have the right to collect any money in my name of any kind for any reason.

                   I have been in this Union for 22 years. I can no longer be a part of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters who under Douglas McCarron has destroyed democratic Unionism within the UBC and is a scourge on organized labor as a whole. I can no longer be a part of an organization controlled by a tyrannical despot, who with the collusion of other UBC Officers such as Frank Spencer, allowed and supported organized crime to take hold in the UBC.  Who allowed and supported common criminals such as Mike Forde who operated for over 15 years under their protection. Who allowed and supported corruption in the New York City and Empire Councils. Who allowed and supported local carpetbaggers such as Mark Sowalski and Douglas Blacklock. Despite being supplied with irrefutable evidence of their guilt in defrauding the membership they were allowed to not only cheat the members of Local 370 but were rewarded for doing so. I cannot in good conscience be part of an organization whose leadership works so diligently to destroy the financial future of its membership and cheat them of their right to a fair and democratic Union. McCarron and his slates continued tenure in office is an insult to Union members every where.

                Be advised that despite your rather delusional opinions what I do after I leave the UBC is none of your business.  I am sure with prolonged medical treatment  or perhaps a few more civil cases the UBC and its present leadership will finally understand how insignificant they really are.

The UBC Trial  Committee 

 

A modern Day dog and Pony show

The only ones who did not know they were a joke was them.

In a blatant attempt to use his UBC office to silence my free speech rights Frank Spencer brought me to the UBC kangaroo trial. this was for telling local sell out Christopher Dugan to go.... these charges were dismissed last year and the dismissal accepted by the UBC.The UBC refused to allow me to be represented by counsel. The UBC refused to allow me disclosure so i could defend myself as demanded by the LMRDA. The UBC trial committee is a joke and nothing more than a UBC tool to extort its members and violate the rights of its membership. Needless to say I refused to participate and any decision by this panel of clowns is worthless

UBC  Stooge Mike Draper calls Spencers trip to Hawaii "absurd allegation"

In 2008 frank spencer took all the eastern region council est to hawaii for a meeting at a cost to the membership of $250,000.international jack ass mike draper declared in the trial record this was an absurd allegation and did not happen

the trip included the wives of the est and the airfare "first class" per couple alone was $10,000. Included in this trip was convicted criminal and Spencer cronie Mike Forde the now defunct NYC Council est as well as others.this trip is well documented and also part of the us attorneys office case against Forde and many other UBC officers. For draper to deny this as an "absurd allegation" is nothing less than defrauding the membership and blatant proof of the UBC internationals complicity in the NY city and NY state  corruption
