CEP Local 10b votes 99.6% in favour of a strike:
CEP Local 10b at Domtar‘s mill in Kamloops, British Columbia voted 99.6% in favour of a strike on Monday night.
The union wants to establish pattern bargaining in British Columbia’s pulp sector, using Canfor‘s deal as the pattern. Canfor’s latest contract with its workers includes a 7.5% wage increase over 5 years (with no wage hikes in the first 2 years.)
Domtar and the union have scheduled 2 days of bargaining. The workers have been without a contract since April.
