The forestry industry in this city is not seeing the same types of problems as areas in the Northern part of the province.President of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union Dave Coles tells CHSJ News, the mill in Saint John is dodging the bullet by having a more modern facility and a more sought after product than the mill in Edmundston.
Coles is speaking out as the Fraser Papers sulphite pulp mill in Edmundston continues to keep it's doors closed as negotiations continue with the union.Coles says the federal government needs to intervene in the forestry industry to help secure pension funds, and to keep people working.
