Woodworkers strike in British Columbia enters second week
Vancouver CP reports a prolonged strike by International Woodworkers of America has shut many BC mills and camps. Union and Forest Industrial Relations clash over contracting out work to non union contractors. About 3,500 workers returned to some northern Interior operations after a separate agreement, while 4,000 of BC's 31,000 unionized workers may be off the job this week. The dispute also cites the US Northwest contract as a reference point, with potential impact on BC wage and benefit levels.
