New Brunswick mill laying off hundreds of workers, union says
Unifor says the closure of the AV Nackawic mill is a devastating decision that will put 228 people out of work and deliver a serious blow to the local economy.
A New Brunswick mill is set to lay off hundreds of workers in November, according to the union representing the affected employees. Unifor stated that the closure of the AV Nackawic mill will result in 228 people losing their jobs, significantly impacting the local economy. The mill, owned by the India-based Aditya Birla Group, is a vital economic contributor to the rural community of Nackawic-Millville.
Minister of Natural Resources John Herron confirmed that the company will temporarily halt its operations at the mill. The government is currently formulating a response plan to assist those most affected by the layoffs. However, the Aditya Birla Group has not yet provided a statement regarding the matter.
