Invista said Wednesday that 110 employees and contractors will be laid off at the Waynesboro plant, and attributed the reductions to a continued sluggish demand in the carpet and apparel industries.
The company said the reductions will happen in the coming months, but did not offer an exact timetable.
Jim Flickinger, president of United Workers, Inc., which represents Invista wage employees, said the union will meet with Invista management Dec. 2 to discuss the layoffs and justify them.
Flickinger said the layoffs will likely affect only two dozen contract employees. The announcement at Invista comes in the wake of the planned mid-December closing of the Mohawk Industries plant, where 120 people will lose their jobs, and last week’s announcement of 37 layoffs at nTelos, Inc.
