They made the comment after Labor Minister Moe Sjhota in- stituted a 90-day cooling-off period in the labor dispute and ordered the Council of Trade Unions (CTU) back to work. The CTU represents seven BC Rail unions and 1,600 employees. BC Rail spokesman Noel Van Sandwyk said the CTU told the tail company it would abide by the back-to-work order and begin taking down picket signs Tuesday morning. But while the strike is over for now, some North Vancouver ter- minal operators said the labor dispute could result in the loss of lucrative overseas contracts and tarnish B.C.’s reputation as a reli- able supplier. Tony Jarrett, president of North Vancouver's Fibreco Export Inc., which exports woodchips to Asian markets, said his company has fost just over $4 million as a result of the strike. By Surj Rattan News Reporter “The most devastating effect of the strike is not only the enormous loss cf jobs and sales revenues but the long-term threat to. B.C.’s reputation as a reliable supplier to world markets. ‘That is something that cannot be measured. We'll know the ef- fects in about four years or when contracts come up,’’ said Jarrett. He added that when it comes to renewing contracts, Fibreco’s Asian customers will remind the North Vancouver company that BC Rail has been hit by a strike twice in the last three years. “They'll start to look at other suppliers. Alaska is one. They just: built a new facility there,’’ said Jarrett. .
