Management changes at Resolute in Thunder Bay, ON

December 11th, 2012 | Posted in Misc. | 3 comments »

TBNewsWatch is reporting that Doug Murray is no longer the Manager at Resolute Forest Products‘ in Thunder Bay, and their sources say he is no longer with the company.

Management changes are also being reported at Resolute’s Thunder Bay sawmill and in their forestry operations, although the company won’t comment publicly on the changes.

Gary Bragnalo, President of CEP Local 39, told TbNewsWatch that Murray was always very approachable on issues involving the mill, even when the operation went through tough times over the past few years.  The mill is currently in the final stages of installing a new condensing turbine to lower energy costs, a project Murray had been lobbying for since 2009.

    I worked with Doug while he was in Fort Frances & he was one of the most approachable Guy’s you could ever meet . Doug has compassion for people …. something that the upper management has none of. I don’t blame him for leaving he probably got tired of their BS … I am sure he will be missed at the Thunder Bay Mill . I know he was when he left Fort Frances !!

    A great loss to the corporation, although I’m not so sure the “corporation” is smart enough to realize it. In an industry that talented business leaders avoid like the plague, its a shame to loose one of the best we ever had. Resolute better hope he doesn’t go to the competition!
