VANCOUVER — West Fraser says inventory challenges have prompted them to temporarily bring in a three day work week.
“The transportation crisis in Western Canada that started with flooding in the Lower Mainland last fall has left our industry with significant inventory challenges,” reads a statement provided to CKPG News.
“To manage our inventories, West Fraser is temporarily moving from a five to three day operating schedule for our B.C. lumber mills and working to minimize the impact on these employees.”
The company says approximately 740 employees will be impacted, including 150 in Quesnel.
