Can anyone help me with a link to the latest version of the IBEW Constitution online?
Like the Laws of our Nations, be proud and give the IBEW Constitution as much access as possible.The IBEW was ordered to delete three offending clauses from its constitution and to amend four others to bring them in line with federal law. It reinstated Boswell with full rights, paid him damages, and compensated his attorneys. It was a total victory except for one detail. Both sides agreed not to reveal the terms of settlement. But everything was on the public record, except the financial figures. AUD, not bound by any settlement, publicized the facts, then reported by the Bureau of National Affairs. The settlement was finalized on March 12, 1981, but it took much longer --- six years! --- to dig out the money details.
Those that don't believe that there should be better laws to ensure that unions allow the right to dissent, the right to be heard, and the right to participate fail to realize that the current degree of autonomy has union officers denying the membership their entitlement to fairness in matters concerning both collective agreements and internal affairs.There is little debate among observers of contemporary industrial relations that unions can only fulfil their social and economic mission if they are democratic institutions.
The focus among labour lawyers and legislators, however, has been on the degree of intervention that the law should make into the internal affairs of trade unions.
Some prominent Canadian labour lawyers and academics have argued that a more elaborate code of democratic conduct must be legislated in order to ensure that the right to dissent, the right to be heard, and the right to participate are properly protected. This argument for a union members’ bill of rights in Canada is based not so much on any historic or contemporary pattern of entrenched abusive behaviour, as it is on the growing political and economic role of trade unions in modern society and the consequent public responsibilities that come with that role. Implicit in this view is the acceptance that the law can play a substantial role in ensuring membership control and participation by regulating the democratic behaviour of trade unions.
Others have maintained that the present level of legal supervision is sufficient to ensure that unions are fair and responsive to their members, although many of the powers presently possessed by the courts should be removed and placed with labour relations boards. This view is premised on the belief that unions, as essentially private organizations, should be permitted the greatest degree of autonomy possible that is consistent with ensuring that their membership is entitled to fairness in matters concerning both collective agreements and internal affairs.
Rollie73,
As you pointed out in your own post about LU 1852, corruption happens.
Did you lose faith in those that exposed that corruption.
I don't believe you've covered enough material to form an opinion yet.

I wouldn't say I have an English comprehension problem per se, more like just a general comprehension problem. As in, I can't comprehend why you didn't answer my question about whether or not you plan to beat this dead horse indefinitely.Vintage Sounds,
Do you have English comprehension problems?
Or did you miss the fact that this is the Union Topics section?
Do you have anything to contribute to the IBEW Constitution topic here or are you just trolling?
I have been browsing the electrical sections and will post there when I damn feel like it.
Eh, that's okay. I have an idea who this clown is too. I used to work for 353 in 2010-11. The Perry Speranza and Eric Klyne stories are legendary in Toronto even among non-union guys. Legendary laughing stock anyway.Don't let this troll, like the many others at this site, bother you.
This troll is familiar to me, I know exlactly who he is!
This site needs to clean up the trolls attacking good honest members, who are who they say they are, and where they say they are from. :thumbsup:
