Tultex says it's going to stop making fleece in Martinsville.
The company would not say why the layoffs came yesterday -- or if they're part of the company's restructuring plan.

Last month, Tultex laid off 11-hundred workers when it filed for Chapter-11 bankruptcy protection.
Those layoffs have made the city's unemployment rate skyrocket -- it's well above 15-percent ... by far, the highest in the state.

The fight began Wednesday when INS officials announced that the 6-year-old Cuban boy should return to his homeland to be with his father. Elian's mother drowned with 10 others, all of them fleeing Cuba. But Elian survived, rescued after two days of floating in an inner tube in the Florida straits.
