Meeting planned to help Allegheny Wood Products workers

From staff reports

The state Department of Labor & Industry has activated its Rapid Response Services to help workers at the Allegheny Wood Products facility in Marble, where a fire last Saturday devastated the plant and caused millions of dollars of damage.

About 100 people worked at the plant when it was running at full production.

Impacted workers may meet a team of RRS specialists at 1 p.m. Monday at the Washington Township fire hall at 19877 Route 208, Fryburg.

This meeting is open to Allegheny Wood Products employees only.

The RRS specialists and PA CareerLink staff will provide information on programs and services including unemployment compensation, health and pension benefits, financial credit counseling, training programs, job search activities, education services and social service programs, among others.
