Sun Oil workers wait for unemployment pay ruling
About 1,600 Sun Oil Marcus Hook refinery employees remain unpaid after a 1973 stoppage. the state Supreme Court upheld eligibility for roughly 2.3 million dollars in unemployment benefits, but a lingering stay prevents payment as union officials seek removal of the ban. In Prospect Park, a two alarm fire at 1100 Lincoln Ave. killed five, with multiple injuries and extensive evacuations as investigators probe the fire's cause.
