Forest fire workers represented by OPSEU/SEFPO are calling out Graydon Smith, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, for false statements made during a closed-door news conference in Timmins that shut out frontline forest fire workers. They shared their personal experiences on the frontlines and urged the Minister to address the retention crisis as soon as possible. The workers held their own news conference to demand real solutions and immediate action to resolve the retention crisis in AFFES.
