Miramachi Paper Workers Take Matters Into Their Own Hands

In an inventive move, making use of the tools offered by the internet, Chris Allison and the mill workers at UPM paper mills in Miramachi, NB have launched a campaign. After fighting for months to save their mill which is scheduled for closure the workers are now looking for investors on their own. From the statement I was send:

"In an effort to save or ensure their jobs in the future, mill workers at UPM paper mills in Miramichi have launched a campaign, looking for buyers.
CEP President Chris Allison says " action must happen now, the cold weather is coming, and we feel UPM will announce permenant closure, and allow the assets to be destroyed ". He continues '' we know the dollar is high , but it will come down eventually, and these facilities should be ready when it does ''. Allison is looking for the Federal Government to intervein as soon as possible. " We have 750 people and their families, searching for answers, and it seems nobody wants to help find those answers"
