Out of the 540 or so PPWC Local 9 members, 66% voted in favour of the agreement. The agreement will raise wages by 11% and raise pensions over the 5-year contract. It will also give companies more stable opportunities to secure new contracts. Members plan to negotiate the agreement at other PPWC locations around the province. PPWC Local 9 is the first local in pulp and paper industry in British Columbia to reach a provisional agreement with an employer other than Norske Canada.
