[IWA -- PPWC -- BCFP]

News item. The Pulp and Paper Workers of Canada (PPWC), Local 2, pickets the B.C. Forest Products mill on Gorge Road, forcing management to close the mill. IWA members are upset, as the Henry Hutchins report on the forest industry is to be released in three days. IWA members want to return to work if the terms of the report are satisfactory. Even so, the PPWC pickets will be honoured by IWA members, and this means no unemployment insurance.

[Logging look]

News item. Footage shows logged-off areas beyond Sooke (?), logging truck being loaded by hydraulic loader; loaded truck on way to the mill; shots of sawmill (B.C. Forest Products, Sooke?); faller bringing down a tree.
