Welcome new B.A. Dave Deal!

MNPEA President Dave Deal is our new Business Agent at Hennepin County!

Who is Dave Deal? Besides President of MNPEA he is a Sergeant at the Washington County Sheriff's Office and a former Teamsters National Delegate to the 2011 International Brotherhood of Teamsters Convention. He was a reformer challenging Jim Hoffa's corruption on the Anyone But Hoffa Slate. Have you seen all of the Teamsters corruption in the news? Broke pensions, high salaries on the backs of members? He was against all of that.

After the Teamsters rejected our reforms, yes I was a delegate too, he helped form MNPEA as a Union to actually serve the members.

I, for one, look forward to his services. We need to hold Hennepin County and the Sheriff's Office to the contract and their agreements.

It is because of Dave and the Board that the leather grievance is finally signed and I expect Dave to hold them to their settlement on the Shift Differential grievance.

Welcome aboard.
