Conway Local 4016 President Settles Lawsuit

Updated On: Apr 11, 2011 (15:56:00)
 
 

Late in 2009 the IAFF approved a lawsuit to be filed under the IAFF Guardian Policy for Conway Local 4016 President Damon Reed. President Reed     had been skipped for a promotion to Captain 7 times even though he was number 1 on the list for the entire time ( including mutiple different tests). Also the chief had normally promtoed the top person on the list.

Usually denied promotions are difficult to prove as a discrimination case but President Reed had a history of  being an active and outspoken leader  for his local on a number of issues including staffing. It was also known that the chief disliked the union.

Recently a settlement was reached in the case:

President Reed will receive the next available Captain postion and in the iterim will be paid at the Captain pay rate. He will receive back pay and compensatory damages for the time he was not promoted. There is a no retalation clause in the settlement and the city will reimburse the attorney fees in the amount of $18,644.

Many thanks to IAFF Legal Counsel Tom Woodley and his law firm for pursing this case to a succesful conclusion. President Reed was a true union champion by not giving up his union principles and standing his ground for all those years he was being skipped. Job well done by everyone!
