The employees, members of Local 3-261, struck the operations in pro- test at the Company’s refusal to settle a number of serious grievances. Meetings are now in pro- gress between the Union, the Company and a Federal Med- iation Officer. If no solution can be found to end the im- passe, it is anticipated that the strike will spread to other Weyerhaeuser operations. Local 3-261 has been negot- iating for a long period on bracket adjustments for grap- ple operators and _ second loaders in the woods. These men have been given addi- tional work in sorting and preparing hemlock logs for’ export to Japan, working under rigid specifications set by the company. The local union asked for pay raises of 30 cents per hour for these men, but the com- pany offered a raise only for the second loader. If the work done by the second loader continues as ordered by the company, the job of boom landing bucker probably would be eliminated. While these negotiations were going on, the company ordered the boom crew to use power saws, an unsafe practice. One man who trans- ferred to the boom crew from - a woods job said he had to use power saws more in the new job than he did as a bucker. When the boom crew re- fused to use the power saws, the company locked them off the job and suspended them without pay for two days. Under the contract, previous working conditions are called for while a grievance is being processed. Other grievances being pro- cessed by the local union in- cluded discharge of one man and long overdue bracket ad- os justeneis fey sieaeee ehdiein, | powerhouse including e work- ers who did not receive over- time due them. ee After the boommen were — suspended, the local union called a special meeting dur- ing the day shift and another on the night shift. The com- pany then told all the men they were suspended without pay. At the special meetings, members voted by a 97 per cent majority to strike if the grievances were not settled by the company. Meetings were between Lo- cal 3-261 and the company. Weyerhaeuser agreed to place the bracket adjustments into effect, reinstate the discharg- ed employee and grant second loaders a pay raise of 5 cents an hour. No offer was made for grapple operators and the company refused to budge on orders to have the boom crew use power saws with no extra pay. The company also refus- ed to compensate the men for the time they were locked out.
