THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER Don Williamson, sawmill worker, makes above average wages fora woodworker. Don makes $8021.17 (gross) a year. He doesn't qualify for most mortgages. He can't really afford to buy a car. And many of life's luxuries are out of reach. But, with careful management, his family of four can make ends meet. What he wanis is a better hourly rate, an improved medical plan, a dental care plan, and a pension. Which isn’t asking for the world. Not when Don has been with the same company for nine years, not when he works for one of the Province's biggest and richest industries. (In 1971, MacMillan Bloedel alone made $25,469,000 in profits. After taxes.) Ask yourself this: Are Don's demands out of the question, or are they things you'd want for yourself if you were in his place?
