BCFPE President John Ripley and the Executive Board would like to thank Baltimore County 911 Center personnel for their service everyday and offer special recognition during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Our 911 employees are on the front line of emergencies, serving as that vital link between the vulnerable and other first responders. Thank you for your service!
Pursuant to the BCFPE constitution, if you are a member in good standing and wish to, you may volunteer for the Election Committee to accept nominations for Board Members. Please submit your name to Frank Pratka at fpratka@aftmd.org by May 7, 2020. The BCFPE Executive Board will make the selection of committee members.
Members gathered in the union office for the BCFPE general membership meeting. After snacking on meatballs, chicken nuggets, a fruit platter, and cookies, those in attendance got down to the business of the union. The membership meeting was made up of a diverse cross-section of the bargaining unit.
Union leaders often make sacrifices. The sacrifice isn’t always wading into nearly freezing water, but that’s what Baltimore County Federation of Public Employees President John Ripley and his team did in the 2020 MSP Polar Bear Plunge. The BCFPE team raised money for the athletes who compete with Special Olympics Maryland.
Leadership of the Baltimore County Federation of Public Employees took time out of their Christmas celebrations with their own loved ones, to deliver presents to county public safety personnel that worked on Christmas Day. President John Ripley donned a Santa costume (beard is all his own however) to spread good cheer to those working.
The locals that serve members in Baltimore county were out and about engaging public employees.
