The State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board heard the case of 26 year old Priddy of Lakewood who was fired from Anaconda Amersiton Brass Co Paramount for weight and health concerns after nine weeks without regular pay he weighed 276% pounds at firing. The hearing at Long Beach will decide if his benefits were properly denied and whether the employer had cause. Priddy says excess weight should not disqualify him as he seeks work while relatives cover housing and he contends lifting is part of his job description and may have contributed to his layoff. The decision will affect five weeks of benefits and whether costs are charged to the company.
