Newfoundland and Labrador's natural resources minister warned Friday that Corner Brook Pulp and Paper is in such dire shape that it could shut down without a new deal with its unionized employees. "I can tell you, based on what we know, [that] Corner Brook and Pulp is on the verge of bankruptcy," Jerome Kennedy told reporters in St. John's Friday. Kruger Inc., which owns Corner Brook Pulp and Paper, has resumed negotiations with unionized workers, who just weeks ago narrowly rejected a proposal to restructure the unfunded liability of the company's pension plans.
