All chnology® awarded till United Press International ■FORT ARTHUR — Texaco Inc. announced Monday that it nil permanently reduce its gjrk force of 4,000 hourly em- flpyees at its Port Arthur refin- ■ by one-fourth, illae 1,000-employee reduc tion will be made through nor- 1 attrition,, company spokes- n Charles Rentz said jbnday. “We have no plans for offs,” Rentz said. Rentz cited lower demand for troleum products and im- bved efficiency as primary sons for announcing the re- ction, which came just hours ore the six-month anniver- y of the day nearly 4,000 a recent i forkers walked off their jobs in olarshipstiii ongoing, strike at the re- ademic st fiiiery. ^ties and■ R entz no deadline has fen set for the reductions since strike is a factor in those cal-, llations. 1 “A major factor is how many nployees return after a long like,” he said. “We know from 'experience that not the same number of people who left will return.” Rentz said 900 of the 1,000 jobs that will be phased out will come from the 3,400 member Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Local 4-23. The remaining 100 jobs will be scattered among the refin ery’s other unions. Larry Stefflen, spokesman for the OCAW Local 4-23 main plant group, said he was in formed by Texaco that the re duction was not a result of the work stoppage. “The company two months ago had mentioned there would be cutbacks,” Stefflen said. “I asked specifically if it was on account of the work stoppage and they (Texaco) said ‘No.’” In a related move, OCAW attorneys asked the Texas Sup reme Court Monday to clear the way so that striking workers could receive unemployment benefits. Texas Employment Commission officials estimate that if all 4,000 workers were to receive benefits, it could cost Texaco $8 million to $23 mil lion. R st, one iblo at I iummei 04 pef I appre id.
