Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Following a breakdown in labor discussions between company representatives and the union representatives at the Tembec high-yield pulp mill located in Matane, Que., Canada, unionized employees did not report to work this past Tuesday (May 10) morning and went out on strike. Consequently, all production activities have been suspended indefinitely.

The company says it is monitoring the situation very closely and is putting into place measures that will ensure uninterrupted supply to its customers. The plant in Matane employs 143 people, of which 99 are unionized, and ships to customers in North America, Europe and Asia.
