Interior Forest Labour Relations Association

British Columbia, Canada

The United Steelworkers is bargaining with the Interior Labour Relations Forest Employment Association (IFLRA) which is an employer association that represents forest companies in the province’s southern Interior. In 1967-68 the IWA fought an historic 224-day strike against IFLRA companies to establish wage parity with coastal woodworkers. Since that time, the IWA and today the Steelworkers have maintained a level playing field with IFLRA companies and other forest industry companies throughout the BC Interior. There are about 4,000 USW Local 1-405. 1-417 and 1-423 members who work for IFLRA-affiliated companies.
