The Shaw Group has laid off about 40 workers at its Sunland pipe fabrication plant in Walker. Gentry Brann, a spokeswoman for Shaw, says the layoffs were due to the typical “ebb and flow” of work in the pipe, fabrication and construction industry. Shaw has about 600 employees at the Sunland plant. Last month, Shaw announced it was shutting down a West Monroe pipe plant for similar reasons, a move that will put more than 200 employees out of work.
