Federal Court Halts Charleroi Glass Plant Closure Temporarily
A federal court has temporarily blocked the closure of a 132-year-old glass factory in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, following a motion by the Attorney General's Office. The plant, operated by Anchor Hocking and owned by Centre Lane Partners, was set to close and relocate operations to Ohio, affecting 270 employees. The court's decision prevents any equipment removal or changes until a hearing on November 12, amid concerns about the economic impact on the community. The closure has prompted scrutiny from local officials and union leaders, questioning the ownership and motives behind the shutdown.
