Resolute/Union Agreement Allows Restart of Ft. Frances PM

Resolute Forest Products and Communications Energy and Paperworkers Union locals 92 and 306 have reached an agreement that will see the restart of a paper machine at the Fort Frances mill.
More than 40 employees are to be recalled on July 17 to run No. 7 paper machine for up to 12 weeks.
Citing challenging market conditions, Resolute shut down the kraft mill and one paper machine in Fort Frances in February, and laid off almost 240 staff and unionized employees.
