Forest union calls for calm after some workers walk out of coastal operations By STEVE MERTL CBC
'We believe the industry has violated the collective agreement,' union financial secretary David Tons said in an interview.
'They don't have the right to impose their own terms and conditions of employment on our membership.'
Tons, worried the walkouts could escalate, said he hoped the board would move quickly.
'Our local unions were working pretty hard yesterday and today convincing our guys that it makes sense at this time to go to the board,' he said.
Forest Industrial Relations, which bargains for 45 coastal logging and mill operators, announced Monday it was unilaterally imposing the terms of its last contract offer, tabled Nov. 11, because the union did not come back to bargaining last week.------------------------------------------- posted 6:16 AM :: reference link ::
