Forestry Protests Continue

A group of forestry workers in northern Ontario say the only way they will stop protesting at a Thunder Bay provincial politician's office is when they get to work again.

Dozens of workers were back in front of the office of local M-P-P Michael Gravelle yesterday.

Protesters say many contractors haven't been paid for deliveries made to mills across the region because of the economic downturn, and they want the province to provide short-term funding.

A similar demonstration was held two weeks ago.
