Glass Plant

Owens Illinois Plant 17, Clarion, PA. Making beer bottles, acid containers, and starbucks frappuccino bottles. The heat is intense and the roar of the furnaces is deafening. Fun stuff! It's not everyday you get to see molten glass flying across the room.

To hell with O-I and to hell with Stroucken. The Toronto plant was still turning a profit for that company as well when they shut it down in September - 440 good jobs gone. They shut down Lavington, Toronto and Scoudoc all in the same year. I bet Brampton and Montreal don't have much longer to go either.

Thanks alot O-I for closing the Lavington B.C. plant. To anyone else working for them watch your backs. We were a profitable plant and they shut us down.

I was a mould maker for Metro glass and Industial glass for 34 plus years and both of these's plants closed down in part thanks to NAFTA and Pepsi.

I worked at Brockway plant 8 in Rosemount, MN. They shut er down xmas break 1984. It was a good job and good people to work for and with. I doubt I could take the heat any more as I work on and am in air conditioning all summer long now. I still miss old plant 8 though! PS a good operator made around $17 an hour back in 84 with a 90 pack. What are they paying them now?

Screw O-I! I dont understand why the hell we were shut down? They said the equipment was too old? Then why the hell am I putting it on trucks to go to other plants and to be refurbished? Thanks for investing the money to redo that crap now! JACKASSES! Good luck to everyone else employed by them in th USA. Pay everything off you can now.
