ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — Roseburg Forest Products says it plans to lay off more than 200 people at three plants in Oregon.

KVAL-TV in Eugene reports that layoffs have already begun and should be completed by next week.

The layoffs are based on seniority, meaning the people who have been there the least amount of time will be the first to go.

Two plants in Douglas County — in Riddle and Dillard — and one in Coquille in Coos County are affected.

A company spokesman says it could take until the end of year to start rehiring, unless the housing market makes a comeback.
