ASHEBORO, N.C. (AP) -- Goodyear officials say 330 workers at the tire company's wire plant in Asheboro will be laid off temporarily this week because of labor problems at 16 tire plants in the United States and Canada.
The last day of work for the hourly workers will be Friday. It is the first layoff at the Asheboro plant since it opened in 1983.
Goodyear says the plant's 40 management employees could be sent to other plants if the tire workers strike lasts a long time.
The wire plant isn't included in the union's contract but the workers are affected if there is no place to send the wire they produce to be used in tires.
