The $480 million First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union of Lehigh Valley, Pa., said Wednesday it has completed a merger effective Nov. 1 of the ailing Dixie Cup Employees FCU of Easton.

Dixie Cup with 500 members and serving employees of the products firm in nearby Forks Township had been asked by NCUA to seek a merger partner, Broderick said.
