HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Steel of West Virginia is the latest company in the area to make layoffs.

President Tim Duke says 13 employees will be laid off effective Monday.

This brings the total number of laid off Steel of West Virginia workers to 65 in less than a month.

Duke said the reason for the layoffs is that customers are cutting down on inventory.

Despite the layoffs Duke says he is confident they will bounce back.

The total is around 165, what is the purpose of not telling the true number.Before I was laidoff the number was around 100. So why not the truth?

Duke, did any management personnel get layoff? Or was it only union workers. Duke won't ever talk to press unless its in his favor.
