Well it is like anything else. If you are not competitive you loose the
sale. Basically we are starting to see what our jobs are really worth.
When the employees are paid and compensated way more than the job
should actually pay this is what happens.

Makes me wonder what impact the export of veneer logs from the U.S. has had
on the U.S. hardwood plywood manufacturers. The international demand for
logs pushed log prices up to the point that a few years back they were
helicoptering logs out of the Catskill Mtns. to help satisfy international
demand for veneer logs... Top dollar for the log suppliers often came from
overseas.
It's clearly a world market... low cost relative to quality tends to win in
such a market.
