Court reverses Hill View ruling in open meetings case
Harrisburg Commonwealth Court overturned a 1989 injunction, allowing Lawrence County to proceed with selling or closing Hill View Manor. The court linked the injunction to Sunshine Law issues raised after the executive session during stalled labor talks, citing a January 1988 to November 1988 sequence leading to the Nov. 4 1988 decision and Nov. 8 public resolution.

State rejects NCFT unfair labor charge
The state dismissed an unfair labor practices charge filed Sept. 13 against New Castle Area School District by the New Castle Federation of Teachers over changes at Ben Franklin Junior High. The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board ruled that matters affecting wages hours and working conditions from managerial decisions are not mandatory bargaining topics and may be implemented unilaterally. The union failed to document that the changes violated grievance arbitration awards. The union has 20 days to appeal. NCFT could not comment.
