Exit packages for Tasmanian forestry contractorsThe Tasmanian Forest Contractors Association has welcomed the announcement by Federal Minister Senator Joe Ludwig of the completion of the assessment and approval of 61 successful applicants under the IGA Contractor Exit Assistance Program. Successful applicants can expect to be made offers over the next few days."The exit assistance will be the saviour of many contracting families in this state, and a big help to the communities in which they live" TFCA chief executive officer Ed Vincent said. "This is a step in a long process. It provides certainty to those contractors that the industry re-structure, currently in full swing, provides a level of assistance to help their staff and families." The Federal Coalition has given the thumbs up to the long-awaited announcement that support for Tasmanian forest contractors would finally commence. |
