(Canada) Howe Sound Pulp and Paper laid off more than 100 workers Friday from its newsprint operation due to shortages of raw materials as a result of a strike by loggers and sawmill workers on the B.C. coast.
The company shut down newsprint production at its mill in Port Mellon, B.C., last week and laid off between 120 and 150 workers involved with the operation of the machine temporarily after a week of maintenance work on the paper machine.
Catalyst said it would curtail most of its production at the Campbell River Elk Falls mill effective Aug. 31 due to limited fibre supply. About 600 Catalyst employees will be affected.
