Resolute to Halt Paper Machines for Year


Resolute Forest Products is curtailing its papermaking operations in Fort Frances for the rest of the year beginning next week.

The company is citing poor market conditions as the reason behind the five week shutdown of its paper machines.

About one hundred employees will be impacted.

Operations at the Kraft mill are not effected.

It's the third work stoppage at the mill this year.
