So the UFCW injunction plea to put Will's site on ice falls on wise ears and the Judge orders Will's site remains plus orders the UFCW constitution posted to the official site within 4 mos., all in one day.
How will (no pun intended) this affect the trial process? What are some of the probabilities/possibilities?
Victory for Gammert!
Judge orders UFCW to post Constitution on the Internet
In a Vancouver court room earlier today the judge presiding over the UFCW's lawsuit against its member William Gammert wasted no time in informing the UFCW's lawyer that he was not going to take away union members' rights to access their Constitution. The Judge issued an order requiring Gammert to remove the Constitution from his web site and ordered the UFCW to have English and French versions posted on their official web site within four months. If they fail to do so within the time specified, Gammert is free to repost a copy on his site.
The point the judge made was that is isn't a case about a knock-off Rolex watch being sold; it's about union members' rights being published. The judge wasn't about to crush or tamper with union members' rights--even for a few minutes.
The judge didn't have much to go on in regard to case law because union members don't have the money to take their multi-billion-dollar organizations to court. Union members are usually kicked to death in the back rooms of the house of labour and their plight never sees the light of day or in this case, the light of a court room.
Let's hope the UFCW does indeed carry on with its law suits. Union activities need a good public airing. The plight of union members needs to be revealed to the courts. The fact that union members don't need a herd of lawyers to take their unions on is a significant revelation.
I believe the media, the courts and the policticians will be better informed as more of these cases go to trial. I believe labour law will shift toward the protection of the Power Source once the truth is revealed.
This isn't about kicking unions around, it's about saving unionism. It's about weeding out the corrupt unions because the house of labour has been transformed from a Labour Temple into a brothel. The high priests are turning into pimps. I think William's day in court is the first step to redeeming what is left of the sanctity of organized labour.
CHEERS to William and CHEERS to the Judge
the members should RULE 
Gee, I hope the UFCW is not trying to avoid the court's ruling:

Perhaps they are just busy updating the website. 
Oh, and well done William!
That site is so old and stale to ugrade means rewriting COBOL. The reason it's down is probably has more to do with the hamster dying than with a deliberate attempt to keep people from being bored.
However, if you are right and they are installing a redesign, PLEASE, oh PLEASE, if there is a Fat Tony, PLEASE don't let it be cheesy like the 175 and 1977 sites.

Has it been four months already? 
Thanks again Will
Oh that's right, UFCW was given to July 1st to post its constitution. They posted much sooner but it's still worth reflecting on William's accomplishment.
