Statement by PBA President Patrick J. Lynch
In reaction to city suing the Public Employment Relations
Board (PERB)
This suit is a desperate attempt by the city to stack the deck
against its police officers by trying to name a biased arbitrator.
The PBA, acting in their officers’ best interests, have complied
with every directive issued by PERB in this current dispute. But
clearly the city is afraid to give these officers a fair hearing
before an impartial arbitrator. The Taylor Law decrees that a neutral
arbitrator will decide the terms of this contract, and police officers
will not stand for this blatant attempt to tamper with the process.
