Labor's New Reality Pressures Old Militants Seated in Vise
In the 1980s a new type of labor leader emerges, one who fought management for benefits and now urges workers to concede. Douglas Fraser of the UAW calls this "New Reality" while local leaders like Marlin Ford face re election after their unions ratified concessions to General Motors. Euclid Inc. president Vaso Kozlovich reflects on decades of activism amid foreign competition and looming concessions, urging readiness for wage and benefit cuts to survive.

Supreme Court upholds Parma desegregation order
The Supreme Court let stand a lower-court ruling that compels Parma Ohio to take “positive” steps to diversify its almost all white population. The case, part of a housing discrimination dispute, involved Parma’s 1971 measures aimed at excluding black residents, despite census figures showing Black residents in the broader Cleveland metropolitan area. Parma, a Cleveland suburb with about 100 000 people in 1970, had only around 50 Black residents, illustrating stark racial disparities in housing.
