Gas shortage strains Graniteville plants and others
Graniteville's Gregg Finishing in Graniteville with 800 workers remains without natural or propane gas. Southern Natural predicts at least a month before gas is reallocated to Graniteville and United Merchants, with a cautious outlook from public affairs official James P. Jordan. United Merchants reports 150 layoffs from 1100 employees. Owens-Corning has about 700 laid off of 1400. Carter's action anticipated but not helpful in short term.
