[UnionCarpenters]

The Carpenters and the Alberta Building Trades sent out a letter telling its members that they would fight this injustice all the way to the supreme court of Canada. They never told members not to stage or attend political demonstrations. The Building Trades told its members not to have a wildcat strike and risk the multi million dollar lawsuits. Instead we will spend the millions on changing the anti worker legislation Alberta,Canada is famous for.

These unions are getting phased out. They will not exsist anymore.
