Exec Sez Healthcare Award Could Cost $1 Million

Though Northampton County is dragging its feet about producing a copy of the ruling, Director of Administration Luis Campos and Executive John Brown have both admitted that, earlier this month, they lost a major union grievance. It was filed by AFSCME Local 1435 over the Exec's unilateral decision to reduce health care benefits, starting this year. The arbitration award impacts about 650 Gracedale workers. At yesterday's budget hearing, Brown predicted this could cost the County about $1 million. Though that's a lot of money, it's a lot less than the $2.5 million figure I was initially provided.

    Does Brownie or his empty suit administrator Campos really know what the hell the numbers are?

    the numbers are very hard to pin down, all members didn't use healthcare and some used it more than others, so it is a very difficult number to arrive at. i don't think it has anything to do with Brown not knowing anything, this time.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
