General

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.
As you are aware Union Officers
have a legal fiduciary duty under the LMRDA. Trust Fund Trustees and Administrators
have a legal fiduciary duty under ERISA
Fiduciary
duties of union officers under Section 501 of the LMRDA
an enumeration of specific duties that these persons owe to the labor

money and property solely for the benefit of the organization and its members

of an adverse party in any matter connected with their duties and from holding
or acquiring any pecuniary or personal interest which conflicts with the
interests of such organization, and to account to the organization for any
profit received by them in whatever capacity in connection with transactions
conducted by them or under their direction on behalf of the organization.

Under ERISA, Fund Trustees and Fund Admins have a

29 U.S. Code § 1104. Fiduciary duties

Man Standard of Care

respect to a plan solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
and—
(A) for the exclusive purpose of:
(i) providing benefits to participants and their
beneficiaries; and
(ii) defraying reasonable expenses of administering the
plan;
(B) with the
care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters
would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like
aims;
(C) by
diversifying the investments of the plan so as to minimize the risk of large
losses, unless under the circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so; and
(D) in
accordance with the documents and instruments governing the plan insofar as
such documents and instruments are consistent with the provisions of this
subchapter and subchapter III.
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.

regarding Weikel.
(d)

(e)

conspired to interfere with the operation of the Northeast Apprenticeship Fund,
by engaging in Retaliatory malice against Northeast Fund director, Ridgley

(f)

exposing Fund corruption.
(c)

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.
