PRINCE ALBERT, Sask.
(CP) — The Saskatchewan
Labor Relations Board has
certified one of three unions
asking to represent workers
at the Weyerhaeuser paper
mill in Prince Albert.

Local 890 of the Con-
struction and General Work-
ers Union in Saskatoon re-
ceived certification last Fri-
day. The decision followed
lengthy hearings by the
board in February.

Local manager Kelly
Reardon said the, union in-
tends to start bargaining
with Quadra, the general
contractor, April 25.

He said the union doubts if
negotiations for a first con-
tract will go smoothly, con-
sidering the time it has taken
to reach certification.

The first union meeting
will be held Monday in Prince
Albert, about 150 kilometres
north of Saskatooon. The
union plans to look at cases of
laborers who were fired by
Quadra and decide if they can
be reinstated, even though
firings may have occurred
