USX Workers Eligible for Jobless Aid in Ohio
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Ohio’s Bureau of Employment Services ruled Monday that the work stoppage at the USX Corp. is a lockout rather than a strike and the firm’s workers are entitled to unemployment benefits.
The bureau said a notice of eligibility will be mailed within 10 days to each USX worker who has filed a claim. Eligible claimants can expect to receive their first checks within two weeks of receiving the notice, the bureau said. About 22,000 United Steelworkers members are off the job at USX plants in eight states.
