Letter: Unfair Bonuses For Execs of Former Sparrows Point Owner

After some steelworkers were denied their retirement bonus, RG Steel is petitioning a court to allow it to pay $767,000 in bonuses to 21 employees.

After RG Steel Co. laid off  2,000 workers, then filed for bankruptcy protection, they now want to reward 21 of the company's remaining employees with $767,000 in bonuses and health insurance. This will come about if the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, DE agrees.

It's unbelievable that this kind of  thing is happening and not one politician in our great state  of  Maryland has stepped up to the plate and said enough is enough and put a stop to this company jumping behind bankruptcy protection  and  rewarding  their chosen  ones!
