I worked at that Nabisco plant in Pittsburgh. They also had problems at the Philly plant on Roosevelt avenue.

That was a great plant and a Pittsburgh landmark! Did they make Ritz crackers? For some reason that is what I recall.

I had a bar buddy who worked there. IIRC we called him troll because he had a Duck Dynasty beard before it was cool.

I delivered (electrical) things there only a few times.

In any case it seemed like Nabisco wanted out but was willing to take whatever the city/county/state would give to keep it open.

When push came to shove. Mayor Caliguri came up with a plan that turned it over to the workers.

My buddy said then it was only a matter of time before it all fell apart.

And it did.

Haven’t seen him since...hope he is OK.
