A union representing nearly 1,600 welfare workers in Ohio’s most populous county went on strike in a pay dispute, and three pickets were arrested on disorderly conduct charges. Officials said they would try to continue serving the roughly 200,000 welfare clients in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland. Both sides described tense scenes outside offices, and a restraining order was issued late in the day limiting the number of pickets at each site.
