Some pulp mill employees affected by pending closure have already left Canfor
The union representing more than 200 workers facing unemployment after Canfor announced its plan to permanently shut down the pulp line at Prince George Pulp Mill still doesn’t know how many positions will be lost.
“We’re already starting to see guys bail, they’re not waiting around. They’re finding jobs fairly quickly and I think it’s going to be a mess here for a bit. I’m starting to hear that guys are accepting positions .” “We need clarity on that, are they going to do it or not, because that makes a big difference down the lines of progression in different departments,” said LeBlanc.
LeBlanc is not aware of any plan Canfor might have to repurpose the P.G. Pulp plant to make any alternate products. Some of the more modernized machinery used for the pulp line will be dismantled and sent to the company’s Intercon or Northwood Pulp Mill facilities. Because more than 50 employees will be affected, Canfor is required to issue at least eight weeks notice on layoffs. The plant will stop receiving chips on April 3 and the shutdown and cleanup processes will likely be completed by the end of April, which means the affected workers will keep their jobs for at least the next two months.
