3M Company to Cut 130+ Employees in Shutdown of Ohio Plant

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The 3M Elyria plant will close this summer despite the efforts of workers and politicians to enlist President Donald Trump to help save about 140 manufacturing jobs.

The workers launched a YouTube video campaign to get Trump to save their jobs, and show that he could “Make America Great Again.” Sen. Sherrod Brown and Elyria Mayor Holly Brinda, both Democrats, lobbied the White House to keep the plant open. Brown even had a telephone conversation with Trump. Brown’s office is said to have been in communication with the Trump administration as late as last week about trying to keep theses jobs in Ohio.
