AMORY - What was once one of the largest industries in Monroe County, True Temper has reduced its work force by another 60 jobs by eliminating its second shift. The company eliminated its third shift in 2008.

Headquartered in Memphis, the Amory plant manufactures steel golf shafts as well as other steel products.

Company officials declined to comment on the lay offs stating they "are privately owned and not allowed to make any statement regarding our employees or their employment situation."

As of mid January, before eliminating their second shift, True Temper had laid off almost 150 employees. They are back to levels of almost 20 years ago. Their China location is now running 50k golf shafts per week. China was only running 5k per week last summer.

No wonder "Company officials declined to comment on the lay offs stating they 'are privately owned and not allowed to make any statement regarding our employees or their employment situation'. "

Greed. Shameful Greed.
