United Steel Workers (USW), Menasha, WI, wants NewPage Corp., Miamisburg, OH, to sell rather than shut down its coated paper mill in Kimberly, WI. USW requests emergency special session of Wisconsin State Assembly, Milwaukee, WI, to approve resolution urging NewPage to sell mill. USW criticizes company for rejecting incentive package offered by Wisconsin State Commerce Department, union’s willingness to renegotiate labor agreement covering facility’s 600 workers. NewPage cites slowdown in demand for coated paper as one reason for closure, notes Kimberly mill costs more to run than its facilities with onsite pulp mills due to rising cost of purchased pulp. USW represents about 4,000 production workers at NewPage paper mills in US.
