Firm News — Case Decisions Middletown Township v. PBA Local 124 In August 2009, Rush Holt appeared at a Town Hall event in Middletown NJ to talk about health care reform. Because of the anticipated large turnout, the Police Chief decided to staff the event with officers on overtime. However, he limited the offer of overtime to the Patrol Division, with the result that a number of senior officers in the Detective Bureau and other Departments did not get assigned. The Township argued that it had a right to make the assignment as it did because it was a “Patrol” assignment and because of the short notice of the need for overtime. Arbitrator Joe Licata disagreed, and found that officers in other departments were qualified to perform the overtime and were entitled to the assignment based on seniority. He ordered the Township to cease and desist from further violations and directed the parties to negotiate a method of assigning overtime to all departments on short notice.
