Union calls coastwide strike after labour board upholds contract By STEVE MERTL
VANCOUVER (CP) - Thousands of coastal B.C. forest workers were officially on strike Friday night, just hours after the provincial labour relations board upheld a contract that imposed cost-cutting employment terms.
'Operations are going down as we speak,' David Tones, national secretary of the Industrial, Wood and Allied Workers of Canada, told reporters.
The labour board rejected an IWA complaint that Forest Industrial Relations, which bargains for 45 coastal employers, acted illegally when it imposed the contract.------------------------------------------- posted 9:58 AM :: reference link ::
