SUPER=03-Salem/File Tape;
G-E said its plant in Salem shuts down for about two weeks every year.
This year that shutdown is coming early because earnings have been weaker
than expected.
Some of the workers affected say they're worried that when the shutdown ends
on January 17th, it will be followed by a round of layoffs.
G-E says it is assessing its "employment needs."
But the company says that does not necessarily mean anyone will lose a job.
