NewPage Corp., which owns the paper mill in Wisconsin Rapids
and plants in two other central Wisconsin cities, announced Tuesday that it was
cutting about 300 jobs nationwide due to declining sales, or about 5 percent of
its workforce.
Cliff Bowers, a spokesman for NewPage in Wisconsin Rapids,
said the mill there employs about 1,050 workers but it was not immediately
known how many jobs would be lost."There will be job cuts at every mill. I didn't say 5 percent," he said.
