The previous Union Representatives know as the CAWU\u00a0violated their own constitution\u00a0numerous times by refusing to hold quarterly membership meetings, elections and provide you with an audit of their finances.
\n<\/p>\n
The CAWU spent thousands of your Union dues dollars going to court\u00a0to strip away the rights of the membership allowing them to elect your Executive Representatives.\u00a0 The judge ruled against the case and found them to be in violation of their own constitution.<\/p>\n
Following the court decision and election of the Executive, the Executive team\u00a0\u00a0 refused to accept or acknowledge their elected President.\u00a0 The Executive team again spent countless of Union dues dollars to illegally remove him from office, violating your rights.<\/p>\n
The disloyalty continued<\/b><\/p>\n
The Letter of Understanding # 7 was signed approximately\u00a0ONE YEAR AFTER the Collective Agreement was signed. It overrode other provisions of the Collective Agreement and remained in secrecy for over 2 years. What was ratified as a group was overridden by the signature of\u00a0ONE INDIVIDUAL\u00a0who signed it in secrecy!<\/p>\n
The Letter of Understanding # 7 resulted in countless layoffs which lead to the \u00a0loss of full time status for many.\u00a0 After a long and difficult struggle the IAMAW ensured all those effected by LOU # 7 were returned to their original state.<\/p>\n
