Police Department‘s Sick Time Policy Violates ADA
From the January 2010 issue of Public Safety Labor News
The Massachusetts Division of Labor Relations has struck down the sick-time verification policy of the Dracut Police Department, finding that the policy violated several provisions of the applicable collective bargaining agreement. Similar to recent federal court decisions striking down overly intrusive sick-time verification policies, Dracut‘s policy was also found to be in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). An arbitrator appointed by the State ordered the Town to cease and desist its illegal policy.

Cleveland police officers and firefighters could be forced to retire at age 65
From The Cleveland Plain Dealer, January 6
CLEVELAND, OH – Cleveland's veteran cops and firefighters used to working past the mandatory retirement age of 65 could be forced out this year.
Police and firefighters have been allowed to work past the retirement date as long as City Council approved the extension – typically just a formality. But City Council revised the 1975 ordinance in June to give the safety director the power to decide on each extension.
