OGDENSBURG – An injunction that would allow laid-off firefighters to continue working as the city and union hash out a deal in arbitration has been denied.
“The court concludes any arbitration award which might later be rendered in the Union's favor will not be rendered ineffectual by the failure to grant a preliminary injunction in this special proceeding. If the Union is successful, harm to the Union or its members may be remedied by the awards of reinstatement, back pay, and accrued but unpaid benefits,” Judge Mary Farley said in her order.
