Arbitrator rules Hennepin County must back pay $300,000 for ranking deputies


What? Hennepin County not bargain in good faith?
Hennepin County administrators withheld critical salary information during a contract arbitration with a group of ranking sheriff deputies, a move that will now cost the county more than $300,000, an arbitrator ruled.
A ruling released last week said Todd Olness, the county's labor relations representative, didn't disclose that a group of majors and the chief deputy in the Sheriff's Office received 7.5 percent raises. During contract negotiations with the office's 61 other supervisors, Olness stressed that the county's philosophy was to distribute uniform pay adjustments and benefits across all bargaining units, the ruling said.
