As the holidays draw closer, everyone is getting in the spirit. That includes Baltimore County Federation of Public Employees (BCFPE) President John Ripley. President Ripley brought some cheer to our Metro Baltimore AFL-CIO neighbors in Harford County joining with the Fallston Volunteer Fire and Ambulance and the Marine Corps Reserve for their Toys for Tots program.
Celebrating one of our own! The new Baltimore County executive John Olszewski Jr. has named BCFPE President and AFT-Maryland Vice President John Ripley to his transition team. Ripley has been assigned to the public safety workgroup.
UPDATE: 10/12/2018 The Maryland Court of Special Appeals recently decided that “reclassifications” made by the County is an action that is not subject to arbitration. We had hoped that the Court would rule that the County’s action would allow us to go to arbitration on issues of salary, reclassification, and 12-hour shift issues.
