SPECIAL MAGISTRATE ISSUES RULING

Late Friday afternoon (April 24th), PJCFA received the ruling from Special Magistrate Tom Young regarding the impasse hearing for this year's contract. As might be expected, some of Mr. Young's ruling are more in favor of PJCFA and others are more in favor with Administration. The entire ruling from Mr. Young is available on the PJCFA website.

The PJCFA negotiating team met yesterday with Tom Wazlavek, UFF Service Unit Director, to discuss which of the Special Magistrate's rulings the team would accept and which the team will reject. We will continue with this process until we have reached a decision.

Both parties have 20 days to notify the other party as to which rulings are acceptable and which are not. At that time, if both parties are in agreement, PJCFA will be bringing a contract forward for ratification. Should both parties not reach agreement, a hearing before the PJC Board of Trustees will be requested.
