The Shapp administration will lay off highway maintenance workers in Erie County as part of a statewide payroll trimming. Officials say cuts total hundreds nationally, but Erie County likely loses under 10 percent of its about 200 workers, with the department already staffing about 25 short. The move aims to reduce annual payroll by 2.8 million as part of broader layoffs. Meanwhile about 1,500 Carrier Corp. Elliotto division workers walked off after contract expirations, with USW locals 1145 and 2380 initiating job actions at 12:01 a.m. and no talks scheduled.
