Truckers Resume Deliveries to Port Hawkesbury

Truckers resume delivery of wood to Port Hawkesbury Paper:
Truck drivers have agreed to resume wood delivery to Port Hawkesbury Paper in Nova Scotia.
The mill has agreed to talks with the Northeastern Pulp Truckers’ Association that are expected to resume this week.
The truckers are frustrated over the low rates they are being paid for their wood deliveries.  They estimate mill’s pay scale will reduce their revenues by 15% over the previous mill owner, NewPage Port Hawkesbury.
