- The Lodge and the City today completed the hearing portion of the arbitration process. The Lodge, represented at the hearing by our labor attorney Joel D’Alba did an exemplary job in presenting our case before Arbitrator Benn. The issues were difficult at best and almost all were relative to finances. With the conclusion of the Arbitration we now await the Arbitrator’s decision which will be received within 45 days, followed by the receipt of retro money within 120 days after the date the decision is handed down. The delivery of the Lodge’s presentation is one that should leave all that witnessed it feeling optimistic in these trying times.
Very vague. Very bland. And very much what the arbitrator was demanding for keeping negotiations out of the media. So it's a waiting game now and hopefully, we don't get burned. It is sad on many levels that the Department is making up awards and the bosses are taking credit for drops in crime, yet the City refuses to negotiate in good faith with the people responsible for the supposed reductions.
