The
Hospital Employees’ Union will pay Canadian
Forest Products Limited (Canfor) $500,000 to settle a legal action launched by
the company in 2004.
Canfor made
a legal claim of damages for lost production and labour costs related to a
disruption of its operations at the Northwood pulp mill near Prince George on April 30, 2004.
Under the
terms of the settlement, the company will not pursue its claim against HEU and its members, or other trade union
organizations and their members, and HEU
admits no liability in the matter.
