Eastalco lockout ruling upheld in circuit court
About 500 Eastalco Aluminum Co. workers will keep unemployment benefits after a Maryland circuit court affirmed a Department of Employment and Training ruling that the 81 day work stoppage locked out union members. The ruling could cost Eastalco $1.5 million in benefits and higher unemployment tax, with potential further appeal. A separate suit by an employee alleges tear gas exposure and seeks $1.65 million in damages.
