In a culmination of languishing labour relations and other troubling events, Cascades elected to shut down operations at Cascades Fjordcell. Management has locked out the mill’s unionized employees. The collective agreement with "Le Syndicat National des travailleurs and travailleuses des ptes et cartons de Jonquire" expired on April 30th, 2004.

The virgin pulp mill is located in Jonquire, QC. Part of its production is being sold to the Cascades Boxboard Group; the boxboard mill is adjacent to the pulp mill.
