U.S. District Court Judge Nitza I. Quinones Alejandro on
Wednesday ordered the Northeast Regional Council to be added as a defendant in
the civil racketeering lawsuit filed in federal court by the Pennsylvania
Convention Center Authority on May 7, 2015.
When Edward J. Coryell was ousted as the leader of the
area's union carpenters in February, the organization he headed, the
Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters, was dissolved and incorporated
into Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters, based in northern New Jersey.
The lawsuit, filed against Coryell, his son, several top
officers and the Metropolitan Regional Council, contended that the union had
engaged in a pattern of behavior to disrupt business at the center, a charge
the union and its officials have persistently denied.
