Steelworkers Launch Website To Cover Contract Talks

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C. – The United Steelworkers Interior Bargaining Committee has launched a new website – www.dealwithsteel.ca – to support the Union’s contract talks in the BC Interior forest industry.

The website features information on the collective bargaining process and lists the work sites that are covered by CONIFER, the IFLRA, Canfor and West Fraser.

The site makes it possible for union members and the public to get the bargaining unit’s latest posted bulletins. The site also posts the media coverage of the negotiations.

Contract talks broke off last week when Conifer walked away from the bargaining table in day two of what was supposed to be a three day session of negotiations saying the Union wasn’t taking their position seriously.

The union says Conifer was changing the pre-approved process for negotiations.
