Fort Frances Mill Permanently Closed


Unifor Rep Stephen Boon is disappointed Resolute has decided to permanently close the Fort Francis Mill. Boon says in 2010, the union agreed to a number of significant sacrifices related to wages, benefits and future pension service in order to help the company restructure.  He adds the union will now work to ensure Resolute follows through on its commitment to provide new job opportunities for affected Fort Frances employees at the soon be to opened sawmills in Atikokan and Ignace.
