MLA says he’ll back any bid by Skeena Sawmills for government assistance
Skeena BC Liberal MLA Ellis Ross says he’s ready to back up any application Skeena Sawmills makes for government assistance to re-open its closed sawmill and the next-door Skeena Bioenergy pellet plant and put people back to work.
Meanwhile the first vice-president of the United Steelworkers local that represents the workers said they are more than likely making their own plans for their futures. And should that have been declared by the company, Nelson said that would have triggered severance payments as laid out in the contract the union has with Skeena Sawmills.
The early retirement bridging program was introduced in 2019 and reinforced in 2021 for workers 55 years or older who have been affected one or another by the forest industry downturn.
