We agree!

NEW: It looks like contract negotiations between Mayor Craig Greenberg’s administration and the police union are complete. The proposed collective bargaining agreements are being introduced at tonight’s Metro Council meeting. Last 2 items on the list here: louisvilleky.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting…

If the community wants input on the police employment contract, the only meeting is Monday and you have to sign up by tomorrow.

Some additional details: The public will have just over 24 hours to sign up to comment on the contract. Registration closes tomorrow at 4pm. According to the issue sheets for the contracts, they were just added to Metro Council’s agenda today.

Sign up to speak at Publuc Safety Committee on Monday evening by 4 tomorrow.

Louisville Metro Gov and the union representing police officers signed a contract that boosts officer pay & throws out discipline if investigations take too long. The public has until tomorrow to register to comment on it. From Rachel Smith and me: courier-journal.com/story/news/cri…

🔦 The mayor negotiated a new employment contract for LMPD behind closed doors, despite what the DOJ consent decree required (transparency). 📅 Sign-ups for public comment close FRIDAY (TOMORROW), April 12 at 4pm. Sign up to speak: bit.ly/24CBA

Sign up to speak by 4 tomorrow! Don’t let them get away with a completely non transparent process. ⁦Cate Fosl⁩ ⁦The490Project⁩ ⁦Marc Murphy⁩ ⁦Follow ACLU of Kentucky on BlueSky @acluofky.bsky⁩ ⁦BLM Louisville⁩ ⁦Louisville Urban League⁩ ⁦UFCW Local 227⁩ courier-journal.com/story/news/cri…

So, Mayor Craig Greenberg can scrounge up a 22% pay rise for cops over 4 years no problem and yet is telling TARC workers & riders "welp sucks for you" when he has the ability to put permanent operational funding in his budget for transit? Make it make sense.

📢 Join us to pack City Hall (601 W Jefferson St) on April 25th at 5:30pm to demand transparency and accountability in the negotiation of the Louisville Metro Police Department’s contract! @the490project

This Thursday; we need YOU to tell council that this contract, negotiated in secret, is unacceptable. We will have signs for you to hold!

TONIGHT! We’ve heard that they are trying to push this later in the meeting to wait us out. But we’ve got nothing but time when important issues like this are at stake!

"Even after the repeal of NY law 50-a, many police departments built provisions into their labor contracts to handle officer misconduct cases with 'counseling memos' put into officers’ files & later expunged." ⁦Ariana Levinson⁩ ⁦The490Project⁩ timesunion.com/news/article/c…
