RE: RE: Lumber Demand
RE: RE: Lumber Demand
"Five-thousand members of the United Steelworkers Union are in a legal strike position at a dozen forest companies in B.C.'s southern Interior.
The workers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of job action against the companies represented by the Interior Forest Labour Relations Association.
IFLRA represents forest companies in the Thompson-Nicola, Okanagan and Kootenay regions. "
"The United Steelworkers represent 2,000 lumber workers across the Southern Interior. That includes 200 employees in Kelowna."
"The IFLRA was not immediately available for comment. Its members include Tolko, Tembec, Weyerhaeuser-Canada, a unit of Weyerhaeuser Co, and several smaller firms. The workers have been without a contract since June 2009."
