Yesterday's Thursday, December 4,
www.laconiadailysun.com had a long news report on the Meredith labor union negotiation held on Wednesday in Concord as well as work related history leading up to it. The New Hampshire Labor Relations Board heard from Meredith town managment and their attorneys, and the 32 employees of the Meredith Department of Public Works who were represented by the Service Workers International Union, local 1984.
Both sides agreed to not include in the proposed union the dpw director, the geographic information officer, and some other management person, maybe the water & sewer director, because they are either considered management, or are not in public works, or do work in the town hall building, or something.
The New Hampshire Labor Relations Board in Concord now has up to ninety days to think about this union start-up proposal that was presented by the 30 employees of the Town of Meredith DPW.
