Answer 1

Each state has its own definition of suitable work.  A quick glance at Ohio's faq about suitable work indicates you are expected to accept work - any shift etc.  In determining if this specific opportunity is suitable, they will ascertain what is typical.  You may have a labor agreement to consider.
