From the (Centralia) Chronicle — — The fourth week of Weyerhaeuser employees’ strike began with workers preparing to vote on the company’s latest contract proposal. But because the terms are still short of what the workers demand, Lewis County’s Weyerhaeuser employees expect their fellow union members to vote down the proposal and continue the strike. While picketing outside a company research facility on Pearl Street in Centralia on Tuesday, Weyerhaeuser mechanic Wayne Pace said:
“We want something better. So we’re just kind of hanging tough here and holding our ground, you know? And as long as it takes, we’re going to hang around until we get something that’s worth voting ‘yes’ on.”
