Page 2A-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, July 15, 1982 Fiber To Eliminate 363 Salaried Jobs CHARLOTTE—Three hun- dred and sixty-three salaried staff employees will be ter- minated. from Fiber Industries, Inc. facilities in the Carolinas by this December 31 due to further streamlining of polyester textile filament yarn operations and un- satisfactory business conditions. Plants at Shelby and Fayet- Moss Dam Repair Bill teville and at Greenville, S.C., will terminate 113 employees—24, 34 and 55, respectively—as they are con- soldiated into a textile filament administrative/operations unit with headquarters at the Green- ville plant. One hundred and thirty-four persons will be ter- minated in Charlotte, 89 at the Salisbury Plant, and 27 at the Darlington, S.C. Plant, primarily because of the economic reces- sion but with some of the Charlotte personnel impacted by recent filament yarn actions. In a related move, Celanese Fibers Marketing Co., which sells Fiber Industries’ fibers and yarns, will reduce headcount by approximately 70 positions. The company will continue to be a full-service, branded fiber marketer. ~ Terminated employees will receive separation allowances based on length of service, and including vacation pay, con- tinuation of basic and major medical insurance for three mon- ths, and job-placement assistance. : Fiber Industries’ President Dow Sellers of Charlotte says, “While regrettable, what we’re doing is unavoidable because of depressed demand and a general- ly negative economy. We have a long-standing commitment to the textile filament yarn business and the changes we’ve made strengthen that commitment for the long term.” Fiber Industries is a subsidiary of Celanese Corporation, a diver- sified producer of chemicals, fibers and plastics and specialties.

Now you’ve got 850 feet of dam. No sir, the dam’s not going anywhere. With the shape it’s in now, I have no fears of immediate failure.” “The city had the capability of building the facility and certain- ly intends to have a maintenance program to keep it safe and pro- ductive,” said Mayor John Henry Moss. “We’re complying with the Dam Safety Rules and Regulations. It’s just a plain good maintenance program and orderly improvements of our property.” The city commissioners several weeks ago authorized Moss to seek grant money to pay for the repairs. Should that money not be received, Moss said financing would be arranged and the repairs will probably be made in phases.
