An internal Kruger memo leaked to news media suggest that the papermaker is planning to lay off upwards of 135 workers at the company’s operation in Corner Brook.
The memo notes that comparable plants in North America function with 250 employees compared to the 385 current on the books at Corner Brook. The memo also indicates the Corner Brook mill produces paper at $140 per ton compared to $100 per ton elsewhere.
The provincial government heavily subsidizes the Corner Brook mill already.
