More on lawyer’s labor complaint against state union leaders

by:

We reported today on a labor complaint filed by a state prosecutor over the $1.6 billion concessions deal union negotiators brokered with Democratic Governor Dannel Malloy.

The complainant – Lisa Herskowitz, a senior assistant state’s attorney based in Manchester – amended her initial grievance yesterday. You can read copies of her original and her new gripes below.

Also, we reported that a preliminary meeting on the first complaint had been scheduled before the state Board of Labor Relations for next Wednesday.
Here’s a bit more information on that. According to Nancy Steffens, a labor department spokesman, one of four things will happen at the meeting, which is not open to the public:
1. The sides will reach a settlement, which Steffens said happens 90 percent of the time.                                                                                                                                                                      2. An additional conference will be scheduled.
3. The matter will be dismissed.
4. A determination will be made the complaint has merit and the case will be assigned a number and proceed.
