Union members picket outside Weyerhaeuser headquarters in Seattle
Striking union members from across Washington gathered to picket outside Weyerhaeuser corporate headquarters in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood Tuesday morning.
The Washington-based company is one of the biggest timberland and wood manufacturing companies in the U.S.
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) union have been on strike since Sept. 12. The union is calling for better wages to keep up with inflation, maintaining current vacation days, and better health care and retirement benefits.
Weyerhaeuser has about 1,200 union members, which includes employees in the company's Wood Products and Timberlands organization.
