Anti-strikebreaking measure dies in Elyria council
Elyria city council postponed indefinitely an anti strikebreaking ordinance by a 5 to vote. The action stalled the proposal with 65 percent support for postponement including Council President Eugene B Smith and four Republicans along with D Kenneth A Krueck. Krueck would not comment on his reversal. The measure carried a $1000 penalty. If passed the ordinance would have criminalized employers hiring in labor disputes and reflected union opposition. Several unions warned they would return next year to pursue the issue.
