Dexter: Province Will Support Those Who Lose Their Jobs @ Bowater

Mayors and wardens representing almost all of the South Shore's municipal units participated in a closed door meeting with Premier Darrell Dexter Thursday night. No word on what specific items were on the agenda last night but discussions centred around the future of the mill and how the province may be able to help.  Dexter told reporters the province will be there to support those 110 workers who will lose their job. “I was very clear with them. If some of them, for example, need retraining, if they need training or support through that transition period, its going to be available to them,”  Dexter says he stands behind the decision unionized members at the mill made this week in what he called an industry under an extraordinary amount of stress. The Premier travelled to the Bowater Mersey Paper Mill in Brooklyn yesterday in a show of support for the workers and local management.
