Pattern bargaining for Western Canada's pulp and paper sector has concluded with a four-year tentative agreement signed June 1 by Unifor, the Public and Private Workers of Canada (PPWC), and Canfor Pulp.

"The tentative agreement signed today reflects the important contributions of our members at pulp and paper workplaces across the West," said Joie Warnock, Unifor's western regional director.

The tentative agreement with Canfor Pulp will set the pattern for Unifor and PPWC's 17 other pulp and paper mills in B.C. and Alberta.

The PPWC represents thousands of workers across British Columbia.
