Resolute Put on Notice


Unionized workers at Resolute Forest Products mills in Canada and the United States are putting the company on notice.

About one hundred union delegates, representing the companies operations, including those in Fort Frances, meet on the weekend in Montreal.

Communication Energy and Paperworkers President Dave Coles says they've came away with a solidary pledge to ensure the company isn't pitting mills, unions and communities against one another in future downsizing or rationalization discussions.

Coles says they're also demanding the unions be included in any future downsizing or rationalization.
