Not only did the UTU try to take its membership to the Sheetmetal workers, it wanted to take its Canadian membership to the USWA.

And then we singned TCRC cards.

The CIRB ordered a run-off vote. Imagine that; the membership gets to decide what union will represent them! I realize that the UTU will have a hard time with this, as the mere notion of a free vote amongst its own membership seems a foreign concept to them. Better to have the International President do what is 'best for the membership' and install his own lackeys over the membership's objections.
