BRENHAM, Texas — Texas officials have asked the U.S. Department of Labor to investigate whether the more than 70 employees who lost their jobs this month at Navisa’s manufacturing plant in Brenham, Texas, are eligible for additional benefits.
The Houston-based hanger manufacturer shuttered the plant abruptly April 2. Employees returning to work that day found the doors locked and a sign on the door blaming “foreign competition” for the closure.
