Attorney Peter Perroni represented the NEPBA and Middlesex Sheriff's Officers' (Local 500) Association in this arbitration win. The union member was fired when he failed - by four seconds - to complete a physical fitness long-distance run. Peter and the union proved that even though the officer may have technically failed the exam, the Sheriff violated both the CBA and its own policies in the testing and termination process. This arbitration decision is an important example of how good faith in collective bargaining is a two-way street. The officer was reinstated with full back pay and benefits.
