BUCKHANNON PLASTICS PLANT CLOSING |
| (07/12/2007) |
| An Upshur County plastics plant is joining dozens of other West Virginia companies that have moved their operations, generally to foreign countries. The closure of the J-M Eagle plant will mean the loss of 75 Buckhannon-area jobs. Upshur County commissioners say the loss of jobs will hurt the community. J. M. Eagle's operations are reportedly being moved to non-union facilities in other states, although local workers have said they expect them to be globalized. But the Buckhannon plant says the jobs will be sent to non-union plants in Adele, Georgia, and Butler, North Carolina.
