Commission Promises Expedited Election

BOSTON – The Massachusetts Division of Labor dismissed NAGE ridiculous claim they were members of the AFL-CIO – which of course they were NOT!  They are now are attempting to challenge the validity of our signatures and the numbers of signatures in the (3) three different certifications bargaining units as defined under Mass General Law.  We were well aware of the three separate bargaining units, as we had copies of the (3) three different certifications since the last time we were getting show of interest cards.  We will file (3) three separate decertification petitions as requested by the Massachusetts Division of Labor in order to simplify to the process and avoid any further delays.  We are confident we have sufficient “Show of Interest” signatures for each of the (3) three groups and we are hopeful that upon further examination by the Massachusetts Division of Labor this latest NAGE delay tactic will be put to bed and we can get on with the issue of a consent election with all the (3) three different certified members of the Massachusetts Trial Court.

More importantly, NAGE also filed a charge of prohibited practice against the Massachusetts Trial Court for allegedly assisting NEPBA in obtaining signatures – which is utterly ridiculous and like most of their legal rhetoric simply without merit! But, it is yet another of their attempts at delaying the election process.

Several members who called NAGE President David Holway via his cell phone are extremely concerned with both his arrogant demeanor and his false claim that we only filed ONE petition. We will once again remind the absent minded President that he is NOT in the AFL-CIO and his arrogant behavior is not conducive to a good working relationship with the members he allegedly represents and who currently pay for his cell phone; so please just pick up the phone and answer your members questions – they have a right to know the TRUTH!    CALL DAVID HOLWAY @ 617-513-9356 AND TELL HIM TO STOP DELAYING THE ELECTION!

The Massachusetts Division of Labor was adamant about moving the process forward in an expedient and expeditious manner. The New England PBA is confident that the frivolous issues raised by NAGE will be quickly addressed with positive results from our perspective – so we will move forward with an election without further delay and you can make the choice on who will best represent YOU and your families!

NEW ENGLAND PBA WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND WE WILL CONTINUE PROVIDING YOU WITH HONEST & TRUTHFUL INFORMATION AND REPRESENTATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD!
