In 2018, NP attorney Gary Nolan won an arbitration case which overturned a 20-year practice that deprived NEPBA Carver's police officers of seniority benefits. The town appealed to Superior Court, where NP attorney Peter Perroni defendend the arbitrator's decision. The Superior Court issued its decision this week affirming the union's victory in full, which will result in years of back benefits for NEPBA members, and even more importantly, will impact pension benefits for affected officers going forward.
This case is another example of the long-term commitment - both resources and resolve - required by unions to ensure that it hold on to its hard won benefits. Congratulations to the NEPBA Carver union leadership who pushed the envelope for thier members.
