Tricon mill lays off 40 workers

The beating goes on in the timber industry in Montana.
No one's buying what Tricon Timber of St. Regis has to sell, so the largest private employer in Mineral County has cut back operations from two shifts to one, laying off 40 full- and part-time employees.
That leaves only 60 workers at the stud mill in St. Regis and Tricon's post and pole plant in Superior - less than half the 125 to 130 who were on the payroll a year ago, said Tricon manager Angelo Ververis. * “I tell you, it's been real quiet as far as lumber sales go. Real quiet,” Ververis said.
