Union fights for binding arbitration initiative on ballot
Category: Unions · State: Maryland · Source: Towson Times
A union that represents county employees, including 911 operators, public health nurses and sheriff’s deputies, wants county voters to have a chance to approve a provision giving them binding arbitration in negotiations with the county. But county officials and the union that represents teachers are questioning tactics being used by an out-of-state firm hired to obtain signatures for the ballot question. “I don’t care about people getting signatures, I just don’t want people doing it in our name,” said Cheryl Bost, president of the Teachers Association of Baltimore County. The union represents 6,000 teachers and other school employees in the county.
