I might be wrong, but I don't think they were making standard A19 screw base bulbs at the plant.

For the union to vote themselves into unemployment (especially in Ohio - an economic black hole) means the terms must have been pretty rotten.

The big problem with bulbs is that today's cars barely use any. It's all LED that costs a fortune to replace and is blatant built in obsolescence.

However, the quality of conventional merchandise being sold is total junk. For example, my modern car is 18 years old and has never needed a bulb. When I was in Pentagon City brand new fleet vehicles were burning bulbs out.
