Mill workers set to return

 Unionized workers left idle by a fire at the Abitibi-Consolidated mill in Grand Falls-Windsor, N.L. will start returning to work Sunday morning.
    The mill has been closed almost a month following the serious fire on the No. 3 paper machine that resulted in extensive damage to electrical wiring.
    Union spokesman Ron Smith said he’s relieved repairs didn’t take longer.
    Smith added the union also brought people in to minimize the amount of time taken to return the mill to operation.
    The No. 7 machine also was idled during the shutdown.
