Montgomery County voters on Tuesday approved the County Council’s move to strip the Fraternal Order of Police of some of its bargaining rights.
Unofficial election results showed voters easily upholding the measure, which backs the Democratic County Council’s 9-0 vote to strip away the Fraternal Order of Police’s “effects bargaining” rights. Those rights allow the union to bargain over every management decision, including requiring officers to check their email daily and clothing allowances for undercover officers — the only police union in the state to have such rights.
