PORT ANGELES — McKinley Paper Company plans to lay off 193 employees at its Port Angeles location on Aug. 25.
McKinley Operations Director Isaac Rosas wrote in an email to employees Tuesday that those who are laid off before Aug. 25 will receive their normal pay and benefits for the remainder of the period unless they are terminated for cause or choose to quit.
McKinley will have a few jobs that extend beyond Aug. 25 in order to maintain the facility.
Affected employees include members of the collective bargaining unit. There will be no transfers or bumping rights, although employees can apply for positions at other McKinley locations, Roses said in the email.
“We hope that the facility will resume operations at some point in the future but cannot say when,” Rosas said.
