Winstone Pulp International paused work at its two sites, the Tangiwai Sawmill and the Karioi Pulpmill, earlier this month.
Yesterday, employees learned the company proposed to close the sites indefinitely, citing the high cost of wholesale energy prices.
About 230 people would be out of work if the proposal went ahead.

Due to the immense volume of comments 1News videos attract, we've made the decision to hold all comments for review, and in some cases, turn them off entirely.
1News is a media outlet based in New Zealand, and could potentially be liable for any comments that defame others or breach New Zealand law. Our content receives thousands of comments each day, and we lack the capacity to moderate that volume without holding comments for review.
This decision ensures that our platform remains a safe and compliant space for all viewers. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
