To the Editor:
I have been asked why the Board of Aldermen (BOA) does not investigate the recent police department disciplinary actions and intercede to bring these differences to conclusion.
Under state law the police officers have chosen to be represented by a Union. That Union and the City have entered into a collective bargaining agreement which has the force of law and supersedes BOA legislative authority.
That agreement gives the City administration the right to manage the work force and provides a grievance procedure for the Union to contest contract violations.
