NY Plant Closure Stuns 1,500 Workers Overnight—What Really Happened?

Sumitomo Rubber’s sudden shutdown at its New York plant has left over 1,500 workers without jobs right before the holidays. Despite signs of trouble, employees weren’t warned about the closure, discovering the news from local media. Many have dedicated decades to the plant, some spanning generations, only to be blindsided as management had allegedly planned the shutdown for months. With the rise of low-cost Chinese imports undercutting U.S.-based manufacturing, companies like Sumitomo have struggled to compete. This abrupt closure reflects the larger economic challenges now facing American workers and manufacturers.
