Timber & Forestry

The EPMU's Forestry and Timber Industry is the section of the EPMU representing more than 3000 working New Zealanders from areas including solid wood products, pulp and paper, panels, packaging and siviculture and harvesting.

By joining the EPMU timber workers are ensuring they get a better deal at work than timber workers on non-unionised sites.
