Bay City police patrol former union representatives file complaint against city

via MLive.com

The state-wide Fraternal Order of Police labor council isn't done with its fight to have the Bay City police patrol union's relationships with a new labor representative terminated. The FOP recently filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the state's Employment Relations Commission against the City of Bay City for not recognizing them as the patrol unions union representation. Bay City's Human Resources Director Wendy White declined to comment on the issue. In August, the patrol union voted to switch union representation from the FOP to the Police Officers Association of Michigan. "We weren't happy with our representation, so we switched," said Cpl. Pat Lochinski, president of the city's patrol union. The union plans to switch its name from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 103 to the Bay City Police Officers Association to avoid confusion.
