KFP Severance to be paid

Kenora Forest Products and its laid off employees have reached a settlement.

The agreement will ensure the payout of severance and termination pay for about 35 workers that had been denied payment 2½ months ago.

The remaining workforce will continue to retain negotiated recall rights until June 1, 2010.

The final settlement will be mailed out to all affected workers in the next few days and severance and termination pay will be made in September, December and in June.
