The Legislature begins hearings Wednesday, Jan. 17, and Thursday, Jan. 18, on S.F. 101 / H.F. 157, legislation to extend unemployment benefits to workers affected by the shutdown of the LTV taconite mine in Hoyt Lakes.
The bills, sponsored by Doug Johnson in the Senate and Tom Bakk in the House, would provide an extra 18 months of unemployment benefits to the more than 1,200 Steelworkers laid off by the mine closing and an unknown number of people in related industries who lost their jobs because of the shutdown.
Steelworkers laid off in August are nearing the end of the 26 weeks of unemployment benefits currently available. The bill would provide up to 104 weeks of unemployment aid, with a weekly cap of $430. If everyone eligible receives the extended benefit, the total cost is estimated to be $80 million.
