NewPage (Rumford, ME) Mill to Lay Off 120 Workers for a Week: NewPage paper company will temporarily lay off about 120 hourly maintenance workers next week, mill spokesman Anthony Lyons said Tuesday.
Lyons said the layoffs are a “cost-containment and money-saving” move. The workers would be off the job from June 17 to June 24.
Ron Hemingway, president of the Local 900 United Steelworkers, said those being laid off are all hourly employees with the union, not salaried workers.
