Negotiations are underway
at Willamette’s Campti, La., paperboard mill between management and 270 union
members. The union has voted to strike Feb. 4.
Joe Drexler, special
projects director for the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers
International Union, said one of the main issues is the ”failure of Willamette
to reach agreement on the 401K plan.”
According to Drexler, the
Campti mill is the most profitable of all Willamette’s mills, making up around
24 percent of the company’s total profits.
A spokeswoman for
Willamette feels that the strike is mere posturing, saying that the threat of a
strike is only a strategy the union carries.
