Truckers Refusing to Deliver to Port Hawkesbury

Truckers are refusing to deliver wood to Port Hawkesbury Paper, in Nova Scotia.
The truckers claim the mill is refusing to negotiate with their Northeastern Pulp Truckers Association. Rates are down about 15% from the previous mill operator, NewPage Port Hawkesbury.
Only a 5 day supply of wood remains at the mill.
At 10am this morning the mill’s woodland manager entered into emergency negotiations with the trucking association.
