Correction: Steelworkers Say They Can Stay Out. But For How Long?

(Akron/Tire Review) Our story this morning on how long the Goodyear strike could last contained an unfortunate math error.

In the story, the USW said that its had a strike fund of some $150 million, and the fund would pay striking workers $100 per week per worker, kicking in after the fourth week of the strike.

Based on those figures – and an estimated 15,000 striking workers – our story reported that the strike fund would be depleted in approximately 90 days. That was incorrect.

Using the correct math, the strike fund will, in fact, last for about 100 weeks.

We apologize for the error.
