Kelber, AFL-CIO Critic, Expelled from Union
In Explicit Violation of CWA Constitution

Harry Kelber, a long-time labor educator and critic of the AFL-CIO's undemocratic policies, has been illegally expelled from his union, the New York Typographical Union No. 6, now known as CWA Local 14156.

The reason given for the expulsion was a lapse in dues payments of four months, although Local 6 officers openly admitted that they never informed Kelber, either by letter, fax or e-mail that he was behind in dues, as required by the CWA constitution.

Local 6 president Arthur DiLanni wrote the 89-year-old Kelber: "You can only resume active status by applying as a new member or as a member seeking reinstatement, both of which are limited to those currently working in covered employment under contract with Local 6."
