Unifor workers at the Ear Falls sawmill have overwhelmingly approved a four year deal with Interfor. A total of 150 members voted 97% in favour of the new contract. National Representative Stephen Boon says the total monetary package contains some of the largest improvements in the forest sector in more than 35 years and positions the operation as one of the top paying sawmills in Eastern Canada. Local 324 President Katrina Peterson says the deal provides long-term stability and builds upon their strong working relationship with the company, but most importantly, it provides improved contract language and major monetary gains that will address the high cost of inflation impacting their members and their families. The contract is retro-active to May 1 and expires April 30, 2026.
