For obvious reasons we cannot list the complete details of everything covered (the City would love that information), however we can say that the meeting was very informative. Some of the things that were discussed were:
- With the advent of Tommy Harrell retiring Brian Morris is currently serving as the interim Union President.
- The current Executive Board consists of (in no particular order): Brian Morris, Clay Houseman, Neal Armstrong, and David Williams.
- The election for the new Union President will take place in January 2011.
- We are currently in contract negotiations with the City but we have not come to terms with them.
- Multi-year contracts (which the City is leaning towards) have recently been ruled illegal. (See article about Stillwater firefighters in additional post.)
- Regular Union meetings will resume on the first Thursday of every month. The time and place has yet to be established. If you have suggestions please email them to lawtonpoliceunion@gmail.com. When we know the time and place for the next meeting we will post it here.
- We are seeking Union Stewards from each shift. The new shift change roster is out so if you know where you are going and you would like to help in this capacity please email us with your name and shift assignment at lawtonpoliceunion@gmail.com.
- Members: please make sure you use your personal email addresses when contacting us since we cannot use City email for Union business.
- Also, to maximize the effectiveness and informational value of this blog we need your help. If you hear or read about something Union-related (i.e. articles about our City officials getting pay raises, BRAC numbers, area wage studies, related City Council news, labor law rulings, due process rulings, etc.) please pass it along to us via email. We will add it to the blog. It's an overused phrase, but knowledge really is power.
