Fuel Fix » Lawmaker calls on BP to pay oilfield supply workers hurt by drilling ban: "BP should compensate thousands of oilfield service companies and workers who lost business and wages after last year’s oil spill and a resulting moratorium on deep-water exploration, a Louisiana lawmaker said.

Rep. Jeff Landry, R-La., called on the British oil giant to compensate the workers and businesses, who currently are in a kind of legal limbo — ineligible both for payments under the Gulf Coast Claims Facility administered by Kenneth Feinberg and from a now-shuttered $100 million fund BP established for oil rig workers hurt by the spill."
