Cash bonus for the union truckers? Non union truckers have to pay for this themselfs.

Yup the union was a headache legacy from Slocan days. 30 truck list IIRC. Mill shutdown in 09 and went CTL only on the 2011 restart the company helped the union trucks with changeover to CTL if they hauled full time for 2 years. Shortly after the company started buying out the union positions to relieve the headache.

We went through a union buy out at the original slogan mill here in slogan bc. In fact there is a d7 high drive sitting in the junction area, was brand new and was part of the union payout plan. I’m sure it’s an 97 yr but has maybe 1000hrs on it...just wasting away.
I Contract worked for that mill from 94 till canfor / spring creek took over.
