The Corning Ware/Anchor Hocking Plant in Charleroi will be shutting down by the end of the year. Employees there say they were given the news by their chief executive officer. The closure will affect about 325 jobs. The CEO reportedly told employees that 150 positions would be moved to their plant in Ohio. Charleroi Borough Council President Kristen Hopkins-Calcek tells WJPA that this is a very sad day for the community. This is the second business in Charleroi to close. Quality Pasta Company near the plant shut down as well, leaving some one-hundred people without jobs.
