Jay mill cuts 51 more employees

SUN JOURNAL • September 24, 2020

The owner of the Androscoggin paper mill announced Thursday that it will cut 51 more employees. The reduction included hourly and salaried employees. It is the second round of reductions since July, when 59 people were let go following an April 15 explosion that occurred when a digester at the mill ruptured. After Thursday’s announcement it leaves 348 workers at the mill. Pixelle Specialty Solutions purchased the mill earlier this year.
