Arbitrator rules against Jersey City in contract dispute with fire officersBy JERSEY CITY — The city lost a battle with its fire officers uni-on last week, with an outside arbitrator ruling city officials had a "complete disregard" for its contract with the uni-on when, in a cost-cutting move, it began using firefighters to fill captain and chief vacancies. The arbitrator also slapped the city for not giving enough notice when taking officers who usually work a Monday-Friday schedule and assigning them to a 24-hour tour of duty to fill unanticipated vacancies. The city is "contractually prohibited" from making these "intermittent changes" in normal work schedules, arbitrator Michael Berzansky said on August 6. The city's actions, which it says were an effort to expand the number of firefighters on duty without costing taxpayers more, "denied overtime opportunities" to the captains and chiefs, the uni-on alleged when it filed its grievance. The ruling could cost the city a bundle, with Berzansky saying the city must compensate captains, battalion chiefs and deputy chiefs for "all lost overtime opportunities" since the dispute began two years ago.
