“The forest products industry is like many other labor intensive industries. We are looking more to immigrants to solve our labor challenges. We hired our first Hispanics this year on the condition they would all learn English. We have always trained our people and promoted from within our ranks rather than hiring operators. We are forever indebted to the workplace education program for making this possible.”
