As these are completed, please be assured that varying actions will be taken on an individual basis against 1 those officers from the Southwestern District and Tactical Section who deserted their posts at or about hours on Thursday, July 11, abandoning the citizens and endangering their brother officers, 2 those who instigated, planned, and implemented the walkout of Tactical and Southwest, 3 those who conspired to diminish the department's ability to respond by: a.
These men will be dealt with. These campaigns were ultimately unsuccessful. None of the striking officers or leaders were imprisoned. Impact on the union. On July 17, Commissioner Pomerleau revoked the union's right to bargain, citing the terms of his order. He also announced and announced that union dues would no longer be 'checked off' automatically from workers' paychecks and that union leaders would not be allowed to visit police headquarters unescorted.
The suit also accused Captain Donald E. Einolf and Edward Crowder as agents of an anti-union conspiracy. This lawsuit was lost in The city refused to allow police collective bargaining let alone right to strike until With no reprieve from the city, the formerly striking officers turned to Governor Mandel, asking him to re-authorize their union and impose amnesty.
Mandel, feuding with AFSCME president Wurf, refused to assist them, declaring that he would prefer to lose the union's support in his re-election campaign. Some officers felt sold out, or used as "cannon fodder," by the union leaders.
Twenty of the officers who were fired sued national and local AFSCME offices in for false representation and negligence, charging that they should not have authorized an illegal strike that could lead them to lose their jobs.
Tension persisted between strikers and non-strikers. Some of the officers who did not strike opposed amnesty for those who did. Firing of Bomb Expert Sought. Sep 19, Firing of bomb expert sought. Baltimore Police bomb squad expert, who devised an item that enables police to defuse homemade bombs in packages from a distance was recommended for dismissal yesterday after a departmental trial board hearing. Officer Leopold J, Luberecki a year veteran was found guilty of three or five departmental counts stemming from the police strike.
Officer Lubereck had been a member of the steering committee of the police union, Local of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, which voted to strike the night of 11 July Officer Luberecki said he voted against the strike that night and then reported for work.
He was found guilty of violating the general order not to strike, having knowledge of a strike vote that caused a mutiny and being absent without leave for an hour. Officer Lubcrecki said he was off the day after the strike began and spent an hour going around delivering signs to picket lines. He added that he was called back into work, but made a "one-hour token walk-out" after being called His lawyer, Paul D. Bekman, argued that the bomb expert was no different than those in earlier cases who simply had received reprimands.
Knowledge of Strike. But, Millard S. Rubinstein, the assistant attorney general assigned to the Police Department, argued during the hour-long hearing that because the officer had knowledge of the strike he deserved more than a reprimand. Officer Lubcrecki devised a bomb-control device that is in use in various law enforcement agencies around, the country, a police spokesman said. The board's order is subject to review by the police commissioner, Donald D.
Pomereau, who is authorized to modify the trial board recommendations. In one case the commissioner differed with the three-member board, according to sources. Officer Jerome Buccola, the Southern district shop steward.
He had been recommended for dismissal, but the commissioner instead suspended officer Buccola for two months and then allowed him to return to duty. By Ben A. At a hastily called news conference here tonight, Gov. Pomerleau said they had received an assurance from the policemen's union leaders that striking officers would be asked to begin returning to duty tonight. According to a police spokesman, Baltimore patrolmen were officially listed as on strike. The Governor said this assurance was in return for his and the Commissioner's promise that the police department would follow routine disciplinary procedures, before departmental boards, in any punishment of returned strikers.
But there was no promise of amnesty for all police strikers, as hundreds of rank and file strikers have been demanding for the last several days in picket lines and at meetings. Hours later, at a news conference, leaders of the policemen's union sought to make the best of their apparent capitulation on the issue of the probationers.
Rapannotti said. But William H. The commissioner has the last word. Rapannotti said a rank-and-file strike committee of police officers, not represented at tonight's meeting with reporters, would decide whether to recommend adoption of these terms to the membership at a ratification vote tomorrow. The wage settlement with municipal employees exceeded the 6 per cent limit that the city had insisted was its limit.
The impasse on the amnesty issue blocked the policemen's acceptance of an agreement under which they, too, won most of their demands for salary increases exceeding the city's asserted 6 per cent ceiling. Nevertheless, hundreds of striking officers apparently were reporting for duty. The police strike here apparently is the first of this magnitude in a major city in the United States since the Boston strike of , in which the Massachusetts Governor, Calvin Coolidge, rose to prominence.
Murphy removed a threat of imprisonment for contempt of court against the strikers union leaders, P. Ciampa, Ernest B. Crofoot and Raymond C. City officials estimated that it might take weeks to dispose of the thousands of tons of refuse that have collected on sidewalks, curbs and streets here since the garbagemen began their wildcat strike on July 1.
The walkout began after the workers rejected a union sanctioned wage settlement that they regarded as inadequate to meet inflationary pressures here. Mayor William D. Schaefer had insisted on no more than a 6 per cent settlement, contending that Inflation had sapped the budget and the city could not pay more.
The normal weeknight complement is The stoppage caused a rise in looting, arson and crowd disorders that had tapered off under the emergency increase of nighttime police patrols by non-striking officers. The pact was reached at a meeting this afternoon in the auditorium of the city headquarters of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents both the city's civilian workers and policemen.
The amnesty deadlock with the police was chiefly over Commissioner Pomerleau's dismissal last night, on the brink of the settlement at dawn today, of 82 probationary patrolmen who had joined the strike.
The Commissioner's statement last night threatening to extend the policy to tenured officers appeared to have softened today, however.
