Resolute Forest Products

Resolute Forest Products is seeking  reduced manning numbers at the Fort Frances mill.

This comes as the company is making preparations to return to pulp production later next week and resume paper production on one machine beginning the first week of February. 

CEP National Rep Steve Boon said they are still trying to determine the impact for CEP Local 92 and 306.

Resolute Company spokeperson  Pierre Choquette would neither confirm nor deny the report, saying only that the company is facing  market uncertainty but  is looking forward to getting one machine back into production.
