Forestry Workers from around the Province and country will rally in several cities today to fight for their jobs, pensions and families. Today marks a national day of protest by the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union. Rino Ouellet is the union rep and tells CHSJ News, the future of the industry is not very stable anywhere.

Ouellet says they are not asking for a bailout but loan guarantees to keep mills viable. The rally gets started at Noon at the Delta and workers will march to Saint John MP Rodney Weston's office here on King Street. Weston has confirmed to our news-room he will not be here but is in Ottawa.
