Industry

@ Pulp and paper workers
demand better contract offer

Scott David Harrison
EDITOR

Stan Shewaga says he isn’t budging.

The president of the Pulp, Paper,
Woodworkers of Canada says his mem-
bers are prepared to stay off the job as
long as it takes.

“The trenches have been dug and we
oon them,” Shewaga

. es said Thursday.
|More Strike “We’re not moving
coverage | unless we get a better
- page 2 offer from the employ-

er.

But that offer isn’t
coming, according to the Pulp and Paper
Industrial Relations Bureau President
Eric Mitterndorfer.

“T can’t imagine how we can come up
with more, we’ve already given our final
offer,” Mitterndorfer said.

“We're going through the toughest
times we have ever had right now. Our
offer would still make our employees the
highest paid pulp workers in the world.”

The offer — rejected by 89 per cent of
the province’s 12,000 unionized pulp
and paper workers — saw $1 an hour
raises over two years. However, man-
agement also asked the union to sur-
render one of its four statutory down
days.

Shewaga said a concessionary con-
tract won't do. He repeated that mes-
sage Wednesday when he and Canadian
Paperworkers Union regional vice pres-
ident Norm MacLellan visited Labor
Minister Moe Sihota. -

“We already reject their final offer,”
Shewaga said. “We aren’t willing to
come back to the table unless they have
more to offer.”

Mitterndorfer — who also met with
Sihota Wednesday — says the well has
run dry.

“I don’t even understand why we are
at this point,” Mitterdorfer said.

“We should be getting back into the
ball game instead of beating each other
over the head to see who's going t o bleed
to death.” :
