Ontario’s unionized carpenters joined their colleagues from across the continent in days of action to raise awareness of the underground construction economy and tax fraud recently.
The events also took advantage of the opportunity to score points on the benefits of municipal collective agreements at the same time.
The campaign, organized by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, supported awareness programs across North America, with events held in 70 cities April 13 to 15, explained Carpenters’ District Council of Ontario president Mike Yorke.
