FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT

On September1, 2009 following a SJC decision in the BPPA case, Attorney Paul Hynes sent a bargaining demand to the City’s Office of Labor Relations.

The Department has informed the City Auditor that the BPPA members have been returned to a 7 day/40 hour work period. The BPDBS had hoped that its forbearance in litigating this matter would be viewed as a gesture of good faith and that the BPPA case would be dispositive of our situation.

Attorney Hynes is still awaiting a response to his  letter of April 6, 2009 citing his previous bargaining demand.
