VANCOUVER, BC – Leaders from Unifor, the United Steelworkers (USW), and the Public and Private Workers of Canada (PPWC) met last week with representatives from Iskum Investments (Iskum) to discuss deeper collaboration to bring about changes to an unpredictable forestry industry that could create sustainable and stable forestry jobs and help strengthen forestry communities. The groups met last week following the labour coalition’s time at the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual meeting. “We are all willing to work together to create the pathway for stability that the forest sector needs,” said Iskum Chair Emchayilk Robert Dennis Sr. “We share the same interest of secure, stable, well-paying jobs in the communities across the coast.” “Good jobs build strong communities,” said Unifor Western Regional Director Gavin McGarrigle. “First Nations and labour are aligned on this core value.”
