EDMONTON — Some employees at Dow Chemical’s Alberta facilities have been notified they will be laid off but the full extent of the job cuts won’t be known until late next week, a company spokesperson said Wednesday.' `! B$ ]! h* D" p

Then, in July, it announced plans to spend more than $15 billion to acquire Rohm and Haas using proceeds from the joint venture.% o( u2 [) Y% t; j+ ?8 X

Dow’s plans faltered when Kuwait backed out of the joint venture. Rohm and Haas said its merger agreement with Dow, was not contingent on the Kuwait transaction.
