We are heartbroken by the tragedy that unfolded at Nippon Dynawave Packaging in Longview, WA. SEIU 925 has deep roots in the Longview community and grieve with it.
We want to extend our deepest condolences to the families of those killed or missing, our wishes for full recovery to those who were injured, and our gratitude to everyone who responded to the crisis and put themselves in harm’s way.
We stand in full solidarity with the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers and AWPPW Local 580 as they care for their members and community through this devastating tragedy. No worker should lose their life going to work. Every person deserves dignity, safety, and the certainty that they will return home to their loved ones.
Our love and support are with Longview.
