BROOKLYN, Ohio - In the latest push to keep Hugo Boss workers in Northeast Ohio, factory workers are planning a rally Wednesday afternoon.

The workers will be joined by Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, actor Danny Glover; Congressman Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and Brooklyn Mayor Richard Balbier among others.

The rally is scheduled to take place at 3:30 p.m. outside of the Hugo Boss plant on Tiedeman Road in Brooklyn.

Hugo Boss had previously announced its intent to close the facility in December, citing that the plant was not globally competitive.

Talks are scheduled to resume on Thursday between the workers union and Hugo Boss in an effort to negotiate a deal.

In a recent development, a California based company expressed interest in buying the plant. There is no word yet on whether or not the company's bid will go through.
