Nearly 200 workers at the McKinley Paper Mill in Port Angeles will lose their jobs Aug. 25, according to an email sent to employees this week.
In the email, McKinley Paper Company Operations Director Issac Rosas said an “indefinite mass layoff affecting approximately 193 employees” will begin Aug. 25.
The letter served as an official notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which requires most employers with more than 100 employees to provide 60 days notice of pending layoffs or closures.
“We expect that Aug. 24, 2024, which is the end of the 60-day WARN notice period, will be the last day of work for the majority of the effected employees before the indefinite layoff,” the letter said.
“Based on the information available to us at this time, we hope that the facility will resume operations at some point in the future but we cannot say when.”
