Resolute Forest Products announced that it’s “indefinitely
idling” its Augusta , Georgia
The move
affects 160 employees, the paper said.
Employees
had not been working since early last month when the plant was idled. That
followed shutdowns earlier this year.
The outlook
for reopening the plant is not good, company spokeswoman Debbie Johnston indicated.
In a statement, the company cited the newsprint sector’s “continued,
challenging market conditions,” the paper reported.
In 2016,
Resolute Forest Products idled one of the mills’ two paper machines, cutting 95
jobs.
The company
will work on outplacement service to the workers, Fox 54 reported.
