The fund provides money for the “defence of actions commenced in labour disputes against the local, its officers or members,” according to the bylaws.
The fund is administered by a committee comprised of the business manager, president, recording-corresponding secretary, one other officer selected by the executive board, and five other members who represent different regions of the province as determined by the executive board.
Money in the fund is used to help defray costs incurred by the union as a result of a labour dispute, including strikes or lockouts, and any legal and other fees and expenses incurred in the defence of interests of Local 793.
The account of the defence fund is audited annually by a chartered accountant.
