LONGVIEW — Weyerhaeuser says it will cut production and jobs at its Longview pulp and paper mill because of the West Coast labor dispute that is making it difficult to ship products to customers overseas.

The company did not say Wednesday how many workers would be affected.

The majority of the exports from the Longview mill move through the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. They are among the ports where work has slowed because of the dispute between operators and the Longshore Union.
