Tembec Shutdowns Announced
Tembec Employees across the country are getting hit once again by the declining economy.
The Company has announced there will be a series of shutdowns affecting all of its British Columbia facilities, along with mills in Manitoba and Ontario.
The Cranbrook finger joint facility is already shut down. The Canal Flats and Elko sawmills will shut down for approximately 8 weeks starting Monday.
The softwood craft pulp mill located in Skookumchuck will be put on halt February 23rd for a six week period. Chetwynd's high yield pulp mill also faces a shutdown. It stopped operations yesterday and will remain on lockdown until there's support from market conditions.
The shutdowns in BC will affect just under a thousand workers.
President of Tembec's forest product group, Dennis Rounsville had requested a hold on the information until employees could be informed by the company itself.
