Lumbercube workers should learn more about their futures when they meet mill management today.
The mill shut suddenly on Thursday last week, leaving about 80 people out of work.
The mill's owners said the closure was due to challenges in becoming commercially operational.
Stuart Nash, Labour's forestry spokesman, and Rotorua party spokesman Tamati Coffey met Lumbercube management at the site yesterday.
Mr Nash said it was a shame the "really innovative company" had not become commercially viable.
