Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine visits Libbey Glass plant to promote manufacturing

There are "now hiring" signs everywhere and staffing shortages are resulting in supply chain problems. A northwest Ohio staple is not exempt. "One of our biggest challenges is trying to get labor in the door," said Mike Rounds, plant manager of the Libbey Glass facility in north Toledo. Rounds said the problem started when the pandemic set in. He said starting pay is $15 an hour with a great benefits package. It may sound like a good opportunity, but he's competing with everyone else in town. "We are dealing with five recruiters trying to get people in the door and they told us starting pay isn't necessarily the answer," Rounds said. Libbey Glass has been around for 200 years, but right now company leaders don't have the answer to getting workers to agree to show up for training and then stick around to work long term.
