Approaching 1 Year Anniversary of Ignace Strike

No new talks are planned between Bowater and striking employees at the Ignace Sawmill.
Members of IWA set up pickets in front of the Mill last August and there have been no negotiations since November.
Employees are upset that Bowater plans to contract out the yard work at the Mill, which the Union claims would result in significant job losses.
Bowater had spent $30 million upgrading the Ignace Mill, only to have a planned re-opening pre-empted by the strike.
