D.U.P. No. 2020-10
Synopsis:
The Director of Unfair Practices dismisses unfair practice charges filed by PBA Locals 44 and 44A against the Township of Maplewood (Township). The charges allege the Township violated N.J.S.A. 34:13A-5.4a(1) and (5) by discontinuing a past practice of promoting sergeants and lieutenants when vacancies were created by the promotion of a lieutenant to captain. Locals 44 and 44A represented units of officers below the rank of sergeant, and a unit of sergeants, lieutenants and captains, respectively. The Director dismisses the charges, finding the Township has a managerial prerogative to promote or not promote any officer regardless of past practice.
