“The non-managerial staff of the FC Corporate Headquarters, Forests Service Division, Timber Industry Development Division, Wild Life Division, the Wood Industries Training Centre and Resources Management Support Centre are resolute and no amount of coercions and intimidations can change our decision to join the TWU”, it said.
