Ohio Steel Plant in Brilliant to Close After 220 Layoffs
Ohio Ferro Alloys Corp announces permanent closure of its Brilliant plant in Brilliant, Ohio, idling 220 workers. The facility has been shut since midsummer and cites competition from low-priced imports. Union leaders express disbelief but acknowledge the company had little choice. Workers face six months to a year of supplemental unemployment benefits, with potential job transfers at other OFA plants limited. The closing involves a $30,000 monthly electric bill until February 1979 and possible $5 million closing costs under the contract with Ohio Power Co.
