The kraft mill here was shut down yesterday due to a lack of qualified personnel for the 2nd class stationary engineer positions, Resolute Forest Products confirmed this morning.
It will be down for a period of one week, affecting about 70 employees, Pierre Choquette, director of Canadian Public Affairs for the company, said in an e-mail to the Times.
“We are continuously evaluating every aspect of our operations to see what are the best options going forward,” he noted.
The paper mill continues to operate.
