The first layoffs occurred on November 11, 2011 and more are scheduled in December as Simonton Windows shuts down the plant.

The city of McAlester held a job fair earlier this month and the Workforce Oklahoma office in McAlester says it will gear up to help Simonton workers after they get their pink slips.

Services provided by Workforce Oklahoma include advice on subjects ranging from job seeking to interviewing.

The McAlester plant manufactured new construction and replacement windows.
