This website is in the process of moving into archive status and will no longer be maintained on a regular basis. It will remain as an historical archive documenting the struggle for Canadian autonomy over the last 10 years, as the BC Carpenters Union broke away from the International UBCJA and became the union now known as CMAW - the Construction Maintenance and Allied Workers.
