Re: Certification

Is this going to be in the future for most everyone in forest industry?
Sixty employees of a Port Alberni sawmill and remanufacturing plant will be laid off next week. Coulson Group has been negotiating with the United Steelworkers over a proposed 25 per cent wage cut, but has yet to reach an agreement. Coulson figures he might have no choice but to shut down.
You know once that kinda thing starts its just like a virus where does it stop?
Maybe that Walmart job might not be so bad, safer, steadier,warm and dry, a guy might end up making the same amount of $$.
