NewPage employees mull contract offer

Workers with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union are holding a second meeting to discuss the final offer from a prospective buyer for an idled paper mill in Cape Breton.

C-E-P spokesman Archie MacLauchlan says many workers were in a state of shock Thursday when they learned at least 300 people won’t be coming back to work.

He says members will give the executive some guidance in today’s meeting in Port Hawkesbury.

A spokesman for Pacific West Commercial Corporation has said the workers have until Thursday to decide whether to accept the proposed collective agreement.
