Hi I am writing on behalf of labourers from
Sarnia, Ontario, they desperately need your help !
Union Officials have undemocratically decided
to use $1 Million of members benefit money to assist a non-union
company owed by Union Officials family members.
The fear of retaliation is high in this area
as members have suffered for the efforts.
Please join us in our rally efforts in the
coming weeks, if you can travel here we will try to provide you
with accomadations in the homes of activists.
This Local has a long history of abuse and
long history of activism by a few members, however, the attached
bulletin has motivated the membership to stand-up .
With your support we can prove solidarity
and achieve democracy for all.
Please pass this on to everyone you know
in or out of the labour movement.
In Solidarity

Are you aware your union could be making
a million dollar mistake without your consent.
This MILLION DOLLARS could COST YOU
!
It could mean :
-increased working dues-increased welfare contributions
-higher administration costs
According to members, recently your union
passed a proposal to loan a company(s) $1 MILLION of union
money (YOUR MONEY)
Your union won't disclose the name of company(s).
Are you aware that union officials family members own construction companies ?
Like NEL-TEKK (Guerette Family)
Do you know if your union officials own shares
in construction companies?
Shouldn't a MILLION DOLLAR decision
= special called meeting?
COULDN'T $1 MILLION BUY YOU
MORE BENEFITS?
Next Meeting : Wednesday November 17,1999 at 8:00pm
1255 Confederation Street, Sarnia, ON
CAN YOU AFFORD TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT
MEETING when it's possible YOUR
UNION is making MILLION DOLLAR MISTAKES WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT
?
YOU HAVE RIGHTS AS A UNION MEMBER, IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS
