Canton mill workers encouraged to explore health insurance options

Help is now available for Pactiv Evergreen Canton paper mill workers to determine how they can maintain health insurance after the mill closes. Health insurance for many workers is expected to lapse Aug. 1.

Appointments will be available for mill workers on Tuesday, May 23, and Wednesday, May 24, to gain information regarding their options. According to a new page on milltownstrong.com, workers can learn more about options that can prevent a lapse in health insurance.

This opportunity is by appointment only, and space is limited. Workers who can’t make an appointment are encouraged to send a spouse or other family member to hear about options.
