The SFPOA Negotiation Committee, led by Chairman Tony Montoya, has done a fantastic job in preparing for these important negotiations. Thousands of man hours have gone into this endeavor and our team has been bargaining in good faith from the very beginning.
Sadly that is not the case with the Department of Human Resources and at our bargaining session on Friday February 9th, I expressed the POA’s disappointment and frustration with DHR. I also directed our labor attorney Gregg Adam to formally voice the POA’s concern, in a letter, regarding DHR’s lack of good faith bargaining. The POA still hopes that the City will take these negotiations seriously and come to the bargaining table to reach an agreement. If not, then the City is steering this process towards inevitable arbitration.
