On 2/18/14 Hennepin County and the MNPEA Detention Deputies, Techs and Dispatchers will be in contract mediation at the Bureau of Mediation Services.
Here's the bottom line. Dozens of employees are leaving the jail and dispatch. One of the primary reasons is because we have the lowest pay for our job classes in the metro area.
IF our employer Hennepin County (the County Board) doesn't come up with a reasonable offer they will be the cause of a Public Safety crisis in Hennepin County.
Imagine this summer if 25% of the jail staff (which is actively looking for other jobs) leaves?
Imagine the $30 million new dispatch center opens and there aren't enough dispatchers to handle the calls?
The citizens of Hennepin County will be ill served by the County Board's Public Safety decisions.
The ball is in their court...and the fallout will be too.
