Canadian/American Resolute Forest Products workers unite:
American and Canadian union members who work for forest industry giant Resolute Forest Products (formerly AbitibiBowater) have joined forces to “speak with one voice” to the company.
About 100 union delegates from 10 Canadian Resolute mills in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia and 4 US mills in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama met this weekend in Montreal and adopted a solidarity pledge to work to coordinate activities and work together leading to 2014 pattern and master agreement negotiations with the company in both countries.
