NP Partner Peter Perroni recently won an important arbitration victory for the hundreds of hard working corrections officers employed by the Middlesex Sheriff's Office. Following the negotiation of a new holiday pay provision in the parties' contract, the union learned that since October 2023, the MSO was not paying the new holiday pay benefit to officers who swapped shifts onto a holiday. The NEPBA took the matter to arbitration, and on January 22, 2025, an arbitrator agreed with the union. His order upheld Local 500's grievance, and he ordered that all officers denied the benefit since October 2023 be fully compensated.
Congratulations to Local 500 - as ususal, nice work fighting for your members!
