IWA tension boils over as two locals brawl at mill By Gordon Hamilton, Vancouver Sun
The workers, members of the Vancouver local of the Industrial, Wood & Allied Workers of Canada, say they were attacked by more than 100 members of the IWA's Fraser Valley local.
The mob scene at the mill was a dramatic escalation of the coastal forest labour dispute, coming at 10 p.m. Tuesday within minutes of the provincial government passing back-to-work legislation.
It reveals the degree of tension that has built not only between the IWA and forest companies, but within the ranks of the IWA itself.------------------------------------------- posted 6:58 AM :: reference link ::
