Fort Kraft Mill experiences downtime


More bad news for Mill workers in Fort Frances.

A lack of qualified personnel has put a halt to production at the Resolute Forest Products kraft mill.

Company spokesperson Pierre Choquette says the mill doesn't have enough second class stationary engineers needed to run the plant.

Such personnel are often trained in several areas as mechanical, chemical and electrical.

Choquette says they're evaluating operations to determine their best course of action.

Production on the paper side is not effected.
