Mill workers: Free events offer food, insurance help, job opportunities [The Mountaineer, Waynesville, N.C.]

Jun. 7—There will be three events in the coming week for Pactiv Evergreen employees who will be out of a job by Friday, June 9 — the final day for all employees except for a skeleton crew that will remain.

One event will be an outreach program next week to help workers figure out the health insurance options. The other two will be on June 16 and include a job fair with 60 employers who will set up at the Smoky Mountain Events Center from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and a free barbecue for all mill workers that evening.
