Portland’s Albany International Plant to Close
Posted on Aug 11, 2009
Albany International Corp. announced that it is closing its Portland, TN plant. The fabric plant closing will leave 156 Tennessee workers without a job. A final shutdown expected by June 30, 2010. Most of the employees will be laid off beginning in September and some will remain until the plant closes completely in the summer of 2010.
The work that is being done at the Sumner, County TN facility will be immediately be transferred to Wisconsin and Canadian facilities. The fabric from the Portland plant is used to create forms that paper machines make into all types of paper products. A spokesperson for Albany International stated the paper industry has been consolidating, which has cut the demand for the fabric.
Tennessee Workers Compensation Laws provide that, if an employee receives a Workers Compensation settlement or judgment and the employer has returned the employee to work, the amount of the settlement or judgment is limited. Thereafter, if the employee loses their job for any reason including PLANT CLOSINGS, the employee may be entitled to have the previous award enlarged.
