FORMER GENERAL CHAIRPERSON AND VICE-GENERAL CHAIRPERSON RETAINED

On March 11th, 2008, General Chairperson of GO-105, Mr. Guy Ethier, advised the UTU International President that he had retained the services of the former General Chairperson, Rex Beatty, and the former Vice-General Chairpersons, Jim Robbins and Gary Anderson, on a “as required” basis.

The actions of the General Chairperson are consistent with the “approved” GCA GO-105 Bylaws (approved by former UTU President Boyd) which allows the General Chairperson to retain, as required, both clerical and legal assistance.

The General Chairperson said that he took the action to retain these services for the benefit of the members of the bargaining unit, this given the experience of the individuals involved.
