Unionized workers at the Kruger Inc. newsprint mill in Corner Brook, in western Newfoundland, have accepted a company offer that will see them take a 10 per cent pay cut.

Officials from the Communication, Energy and Paperworkers Union won't release the exact voting results.

"[It was] enough support to get it accepted. It was moderately successful," said national CEP representative Gary Healey Wednesday.

The union met with the company in January to talk about ways to save money at the Corner Brook Pulp and Paper mill.

Paper mills across the country have been struggling because of low newsprint prices and the high value of the Canadian dollar, along with the worldwide economic downturn.

Kruger said it has to cut costs to survive.

Corner Brook Pulp and Paper, which employs more than 500 people, is the only newsprint manufacturer remaining in the province.

The company permanently shut down one of its papermaking machines and laid off 130 workers at the mill last summer.
