Rolls of fabric are piling up in TSG Finishingâs intake area.
The company adds finishes to fabrics â making them waterproof, fire retardant, softer and stiffer â and is seeing increasing demand for their services. They just donât have enough employees to keep up with the demand.
The struggle to hire is the number one issue facing employers right now, TSG President Michael Goldman said. The company is urging local and state officials to do something about it.
âWe all know itâs a problem, but we donât want to complain without presenting any solutions,â Goldman said.
The company convened with a dozen manufacturing leaders and public officials Friday morning in Long View to talk through the hiring stagnation.
