More than one hundred forestry workers and fellow union members marched up King Street to MP Rodney Weston's office today over the noon hour. Forestry employees are demanding the federal government wake up and help the dying industry. Rino Ouellet with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union tells CHSJ news they are not looking for a bail out. He says they want guaranteed loans and pension and wage protection.
Weston is in Ottawa today, but his spokesperson Lisa Ferguson says she will bring the workers' concerns back to the MP. Meetings are underway today in Ottawa between forestry unions and the Finance Minister.
