By signing thisad, you are not protecting theenvironment, but simplyparticipating in a slick publicitycampaign against the working menand women in the forest productscommunity.” You may read thecomplete letter atwww.labormanagementcommittee.org (Internet access required).PACE International Union alsoissued a statement in support ofBC.
