Hello, this is John Puglissi, 1st Vice President of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association. Thanks for calling the PBA Hotline. * * * * * On behalf of Pat Lynch, myself, and all of those who ran for PBA office in the recent election, I would like to thank all of you who voted. The American Arbitration Association tells us that the turnout was very strong for a union election. On average, union elections around the country generate votes from about 30 percent of their membership. Our election received ballots from over 55 percent of our members, a full 25 percent more than average. We provide the tallies for the Board, Trustee, and Financial Secretary races around town on this website. * * * * * We are also happy to report a victory in Albany where we have taken another step on the road to making arrest quotas illegal. On Friday, June 13, the State Senate and State Assembly approved the measure that, when signed by the Governor, would amend the State Labor Law and make arrest quotas illegal in New York State. The PBA will be encouraging the Governor to sign this amendment into law. For more information on pending legislation you can log on to the PBA website and click on the “Political Action” button, at right. * * * * * Hold the dates for the Annual PBA Convention which has been scheduled for August 27, 28, and 29 at the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa. Information about the convention will be supplied shortly to your delegates. We look forward to seeing you there. This is John Puglissi. Thanks for calling the PBA Hotline. |
