Enloe Appeal of SEIU Vote Reportedly Denied
|
| This afternoon KPAY is reporting that
the courts have come back with a decision on the Enloe union vote. In
the report they are saying that the courts are affirming the elections
of a union at Enloe. In other words, Enloe lost its appeal and the previously
held union elections are valid. A couple of months ago I heard the interim CEO of Enloe, Beth O'Brien, speak before a group. She said that the results of this court decision would determine whether Enloe accepted the existence of the SEIU, or whether another vote was needed. In her opinion the appeal results would determine the next phase of the Enloe / SEIU relationship. While I haven't seen the actual response from the courts I would expect Enloe to honor the words of the interim CEO. If the appeal has been denied, then the union is in at Enloe, and should be negotiated with as appropriate. The mayor shouldn't feel a need to express an opinion on this result. But he probably will. |
