Misconduct during JLMC Arbitration - Insurance Company tells town, “you’re on your own”
When an exhaustive investigation by NP Attorney Gary Nolan and the NEPBA revealed that deciept, ex-parte communications, and a secret back-channel with a JLMC arbitration panel member led to the Chelmsford Town Meeting's vote to reject an arbitration award, the Union took action. So far, the Massachusetts Department of Labor has found probable cause to issue several complaints against the Town. More recently, as reported in the Lowell Sun, the primary municipal insurance company in Massachusetts has told the town and its agents that they are not covered for such conduct, leaving the bill, once again, to the taxpayers.
