Less Than 20 Affected By Fiber Reduction Fewer than 20 employees of the Shelby Plant of Fiber In dustries, Inc. are affected by staff-reduction action required by the Company’s previously an nounced decision to discontinue carpet fiber production by December 31. The impact of the reduction was minimized by approximately 70 employees participating in ' transfers to other Company loca tions, internal reassignments, special retirements and volun tary separations.

The Shelby Plant currently has no employees on furlough because voluntary employee par ticipation in the special leave of absence programs is sufficient to balance production needs. Three hundred Greenville Plant employees were furlough ed October 5 because of: the carpet fibers phaseout; too few volunteers for special leaves of absence; the fact that, although improving, market demands for polyester filament yarn remained at below capacity levels, as it still does.
