U.S. and Canadian Labor Union Coalition Proposes Alternate Settlement of Softwood Lumber Dispute: "Four labor unions and two labor federations from the U.S. and Canada provided direction for a new Canadian timber pricing plan to settle the long-running Softwood Lumber trade dispute in comments filed today with the U.S. Department for Commerce. The proposal came in response to the request of the
Commerce Department for comments on its own approach to end the trade cases. The union proposal presents the only multi-party, cross-border agreement on a solution by any of the principal parties to the dispute.
These unions represent tens of thousands of workers in logging and lumber mills in Canada and the U.S. Thousands of workers on both sides of the border, union and non-union, have lost their jobs in the dispute since the cases were filed. Both U.S. and Canadian workers continue to lose their jobs as the litigation and appeals remain unresolved."------------------------------------------- posted 7:03 AM :: reference link ::
