Lorain parking plan sparks merchant protest and meeting
Lorain merchants condemn the Broadway westside no parking plan and circulate a petition to restore parking as residents ignore signs. Mayor Zahorec will meet with merchants, the Ohio Department of Transportation, and Mosure and Syrakis to explore state funding for more downtown parking. A June 14 meeting will present the petition to the mayor amid a corridor project that widened lanes and removed the west parking lane.

Medina paper not required to bargain with union ruling
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Medina County Publications need not bargain with Cleveland Typographical Union No 53 because sports editor Steve Dungren was improperly included in the bargaining unit. The panel said Dungren’s disciplinary actions showed independent supervisory authority, defining him as a supervisor and not a bargaining unit employee. The NLRB had sought enforcement of a bargaining order after an election that certified the union, but the court voided the order on legal grounds.
