CONTRACT TALKS BETWEEN BRIDGEWATER AND ITS UNIONIZED POLICE OFFICERS BREAK OFF

Negotiations between the town of Bridgewater and its unionized police officers have broken down.


Bridgewater is not alone in this however. Its the same situation for the towns of Kentville, Amherst and New Glasgow and THEIR town cops.

Officials from the four towns originally thought that by negotiating as a group, they could come to a one-agreement-suits-all package.

Negotiations will now continue with each of the individual locals.

The main issue continues to be pensions after last year's court ruling that municipalities had to cover any fund deficiencies.
