PepsiCo said Monday it’s closing a Chicago bottling plant, a move the Teamsters union says will impact 150 workers.

PepsiCo said the decision was difficult but it described the 60-year-old building as a facility with “physical limitations.” The company said it would pay workers for the next 60 days even though they won’t be required to work.
