Forestry Pensions

The NDP's forestry critic is demanding the Federal Government protect workers pensions.
Various forest industry companies have failed to pay out severance and pension packages.

Thunder Bay Rainy River MP John Rafferty says the Conservative Government could help workers and protect their hard earned pensions.

Recently, Kenora Forest Products failed to make a payment deadline for severance packages.
Abitibi Bowater also stopped paying pensions during its time under bankruptcy court protection.
