The Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union will be hold meetings in Kenora and Fort Frances next week with former and present AbitibiBowater employees.

Vice-President Kim Ginter says they want to update their membership on how talks with AbitibiBowater and provincial governments have been going on efforts to protect workers pensions.

"We're going to give them a state of affairs on where we are and we're we've been with negotiations that both us and the company agreed to suspend," says Ginter, "and inform people we're we are in meeting with governments."
