More job losses in wood industry – how many more before Govt notices?
More jobs were lost in the timber industry this week, and FIRST Union called on the government to take action.
Eurocell Timber in Upper Hutt is shutting down its mill, with the loss of up to 40 jobs. The company said that a lack of pick up from the Christchurch rebuild, trouble sourcing affordable logs, a weak housing sector and competition from exporters of raw logs were factors in its closure.
