Two Rivers, 30 Minutes for 5-2-2025
Topic: Remembering the legacy of Charleroi's 132-year-old Pyrex and Corelle glass plant, which closed last month
Guests: Reuben Brown, Tom Seal and Greg Spada, glassworkers and members of United Steelworkers Local 53G.
How Topic Discussed: The owners of a 132-year-old glass factory in Charleroi, Washington County, recently closed the plant, putting 200 people out of work. Back in 2015, the plant celebrated the 100th anniversary of the invention of Pyrex, a type of shatter-resistant glass for bakeware. We asked workers: How has Charleroi changed over the years? Why is "Made in the USA" still important? What did the Pyrex factory in Charleroi mean to the Mon Valley?
