明尼苏达州考虑为600名下岗钢铁工人提供额外的失业援助, Minnesota considers extra unemployment aid for 600 laid-off steelworkers, split over environmental rules.

明尼苏达州的立法者正在考虑扩大受近期解雇影响的钢铁工人的失业保险,近600名矿工受到影响。 Minnesota lawmakers are considering extending unemployment insurance for steelworkers affected by recent layoffs, with nearly 600 miners impacted. 《明尼索达矿工救济法》将为3月15日至6月15日期间被解雇的工人提供额外26周的失业保险,估计花费1 000万至1 200万美元。 The "Minnesota Miners Relief Act" would provide 26 additional weeks of unemployment insurance for workers laid off between March 15 and June 15, costing an estimated $10 million to $12 million. 由于对环境规定的关切,该法案陷入停滞。 The bill has stalled due to concerns over environmental provisions. 一项没有这些条款的单独法案获得一致通过,现在走向途径和方法。 A separate bill, without these provisions, has passed unanimously and now heads to Ways and Means.
