Bad news for some workers in the Ark-La-Tex. More than 130 people have been laid off at Champion Parts in Hope, Arkansas. The auto and marine parts manufacturer says the layoff is a result of a slowdown in business. Company officials say a callback may be an option if the volume of orders increases. The layoffs leave only 187 employees working at the company, which has been in business for over 60 years.
