Picketers in Akron protest strike in N.J.
FirstEnergy Corp.'s downtown Akron headquarters and Fairlawn service center office were the sites of union informational pickets Wednesday protesting a strike in New Jersey and stalled contract talks in Toledo and Shippingport, Pa.
About 30 members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Utility Coordinating Council-2 (note: 3 is proper number) began the informational picketing early Wednesday morning.
About 1,350 IBEW workers, many of them linemen, are striking at FirstEnergy subsidiary Jersey Central Power & Light. Contract talks broke down in December." >>
Perry nuclear plant closed for repairs
FirstEnergy Corp.'s 1,235-megawatt Perry nuclear plant east of Cleveland shut down shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday after two recirculation pumps unexpectedly slowed.
The plant may stay shut down for a week while a team of 15 to 20 people pinpoints the cause of the problem and repairs are made, a FirstEnergy spokesman said.
The single-reactor plant can supply power to about 988,000 typical U.S. homes.
