HUMBOLDT — A production shutdown for 83 of 99 hourly employees at Monarch Cement Co. will start Jan. 22, Walter Wulf Jr., Monarch president, told the Register.

Sixteen employees will remain at work in shipping and plant support.

Wulf said 15 employees furloughed would return to work in five weeks on Feb. 26 and the balance, 68, on March 4, provided no unforeseen circumstances alter the company’s plans.

“Weather and sales have been good this winter and into January,” he added, which has put a positive spin on the return dates for workers laid off. Earlier, the prediction was the shutdown might be as long as eight weeks.
