Corner Brook -
Fifteen people have lost their jobs at Corner Brook Pulp and Paper, The Western Star has learned.
The affected positions were occupied by non-union employees, according to sources.
The Star was unable to confirm details of what the affected workers' specific jobs were or when the layoffs will take effect, though sources said the employees were notified Tuesday.
Corner Brook Pulp and Paper said it would not be discussing this issue publicly when contacted by The Star Wednesday. Kruger Inc., the mill's parent company based in Montreal, said it does not discuss labour relations as a matter of policy.
The Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union said none of its members have lost their jobs and was not in a position to comment on any other labour force adjustments the company may have made at the Corner Brook plant.
