Leggett & Platt shuts down Pennsylvania plant

Carthage-based Fortune 500 company Leggett & Platt announced Friday it would shut down its distribution center in Manchester Township, Pa., according to the York Daily Record.
Thirty-eight workers will lose their jobs as of Dec. 5, the article said. The announcement came only eight months after the company eliminated 60 jobs when it eliminated the manufacturing component of the plant, switching strictly to distribution.
Leggett told union officials the plant's location wasn't adequate for its New York-New Jersey customers, according to the article.
