Clearwater Paper Plans to Downsize Lewiston, ID, Tissue Division by 100 jobs

According to the Lewiston Tribune, Clearwater Paper expects to permanently eliminate as many as 100 union jobs this spring from its staff of 1,400 in Lewiston. Some of the cuts - between 80 and 100 positions - will be through attrition or by not filling open slots, said Clearwater Paper spokeswoman Shannon Myers. The downsizing is tentatively scheduled to start in May and will involve the 500-member staff of the tissue division, Myers said.
