Vertis Workers Cry Foul

TORONTO—A printing plant owned by Vertis—one of three not included in the sale to Quad/Graphics—has been shut down in Fort Erie (Stevensville), Ontario, leaving the staff without jobs or compensation. About 100 members of the local union are threatening to sue due to the firm's reported refusal to pay out termination and severance, which is required under Canadian law.
