Office workers strike at Manfor in The Pas
About 500 Manitoba Forestry Resources workers at The Pas faced a walkout as seven office workers began picketing at the Manfor Lumber Division. The dispute centers on pay parity with production staff, with IWA and CPU unions reporting limited attendance and warning of wider action if demands are not met. The union cites a potential $3,000 per office worker yearly gap and notes management offered 7.63 percent raise versus 16.36 percent requested.
