Sandulli Grace Wins LRC Election Decision for MASSCOP

In a decision issued October 12, 2007, the Labor Relations Commission resolved a year-long election dispute in favor of the Massachusetts Coalition of Police over the objection of the incumbent union. Last July, MassCOP filed a petition to represent police officers in the Town of Lee, after receiving support from nearly every member of the bargaining unit. The practical effect of the Commission’s decision in favor of MassCOP is to let full-time police officers determine who represents them at the bargaining table.
