L-P Boycott to begin with Picket Line

By staff - Mendocino Commentary, April 18, 1985

Comptche Citizens for a Safe Environment, with the consoli­dated backing of the Mendocino Greens, resolve to picket cor­porate offices of Louisiana-Pa­cific beginning April 23, 1985 at 6:30 AM.

The picket line will be removed when L-P agrees to a two-year moratorium on all aerial herbi­cide spraying in Mendocino County and, as an alter­native, agrees to institute manual hard­wood removal projects.

The group also endorses the AFL-CIO boycott of all L-P products. Further picketing of L-P prod­ucts will be held on May 4 in behalf of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, and the IWA (Interna­tional Woodworkers Association).

Leafleters are encouraged to be at the Mendo Mill in Fort Bragg, Ukiah, and Willits, as well as Yaeger & Kirk in Ukiah.

A spokesperson for the Mendocino Greens stated that this activity is not directed against the individual stores, but specifi­cally at L-P products sold therein.
