Thank you to whomever posted this! I worked there for 2 years. from 1971-1973, when it was called "Glass Container Corporation' I worked on *B SHIFT* in cold end, as a selective packer, pallet loader. forklift operator and back up lab. I met a girl there, who became a great friend, then girlfriend, for about 1 year. Her name is Joanne Szela and I brought her to her 1st Union meeting. I guess they like her, as she became recording secretary, then eventually Union President. The job was tough, with long hours with rotating shifts, noisy, dirty and dangerous conditions. however the pay was great. Everyone that worked there became very close to one another. It was sometimes referred to as "The Bedroom community" Haven't worked there in 47 years, but for some reason, I find myself dreaming about the place from time to time, for reasons unknown. 2 years of that place was definitely enough! In 1975 I returned to this industry and worked at National Bottle Corp in Coventry , RI For 6 years, until their demise in 1981. The end!! Let me know if you were there during this period.

I used to pick up glass bottles from the Dayville Plant and deliver them to Baltimore back when I drove for Bond Transfer out of Baltimore, Md.

So, so interesting to read your comments Alizee D. and James D. -- prior to Anchor Glass and Glass Container, it was Knox Glass. My parents both worked there in the1960s. Wow does it take me back. It's a Target store (and others) on that site now. Thank you danny perez! The nostalgia is almost unbearable.

It's too bad Anchor Glass closed. I grew up in Danielson, Conn., and the glass plant was there forever. It use to be glass containers. I knew a lot of people who worked there.
