Abitibi Bowater Cuts

About 400 workers who supply logs and chips to AbitibiBowater's Thunder Bay pulp, newsprint and lumber operations have agreed to a pay cut.

The workers hope the move will help keep their employer in business.

A new three-year contract, to take effect November 1st, will shave hourly wages by a-dollar-50 and reduce overtime and benefits.

Workers currently earn around 27 dollars per hour.
