In response to Canadian union Unifor’s decision to go on strike, Tembec ceases the operations at its Temiscaming, Quebec industrial complex, which comprises four main facilities manufacturing specialty pulp, high-yield pulp, multi-ply coated bleached board and powder and liquid phenolic resins.
In addition to the production interruption, the strike will delay the commissioning activities now taking place on the high-pressure boiler and turbine, according to Tembec.
The work stoppage involves approximately 650 unionized employees out of the 850 employees working at the Temiscaming complex.
