Lorain County files unfair labor practices charge against striking JFS workers
March 4, 2026 // Lorain County officials on Thursday filed an unfair labor practice charge against the union representing striking county Job and Family Services workers. The county accused the union of trying to force it to engage in "direct dealing" by bypassing designated negotiators, which is prohibited under state labor laws. The claim was filed two days after the union, United Auto Workers Local 2192, filed its own unfair labor practices claims against the county.

February 7, 2023 // Commissioner Michelle Hung and former commissioner Matt Lundy voted Dec. 21 to approve the nearly $8 million contract, using a portion of Lorain County's share of American Rescue Plan Act funds. Moore and Riddell voted to rescind the contract Jan. 9, saying the bid process was improper and may have been interfered with by Hung. The later accusation is under investigation by the state Auditor's Office. In response, CCI filed a breach of contract lawsuit and the union representing Lorain County sheriff's deputies filed a grievance that appears headed for arbitration.
