151 people are losing their jobs at the Webb Furniture plant.
Company officials blame the layoffs on competition from cheap imports from China.
Congressman Rick Boucher says all the workers will be able to get federal help with job retraining and health care premium payments.
Webb furniture is one of three Galax Companies that signed a national petition last year to stop so-called illegal dumping of China imports.
The Department of Commerce is expected to rule on the petition later this month.
