Bad feelings mark tissue mill strike
A North Bennington tissue mill shut by 13 striking workers under Local 668 of the United Papermakers and Paperworkers. The plant, formerly Vermont Tissue, now Bennington Tissue Mills Inc., pays $1.80 to $2.39 hourly with a 50 cent demand plus better health coverage. The strike, first in plant history, began after a contract expired August 1 and ongoing talks stalled.
