826 days with no contract. Unprecedented attacks on our union. Numerous grievances filed. No new headquarters. No training tower. No respect.

Our team stands strong with the men and women of Medford Firefighters Local 1032 in their fight for a fair contract!

Dartmouth I think is a very interesting first choice. There has been a lot of student worker organizing at the school, so it's deeply unionized at this point. It's also in an all private college league, which I think works to undercut one of the 2015 arguments against NLRB

I am so proud of and grateful for my team at @BarraultLaw Your dedication to the cause and to making an impact on people’s lives has paid off and together we restored seven hardworking public safety officers to work. You all suited up real nice as well. 🙂

Massachusetts State Police must reinstate 7 troopers who refused to be vaccinated, arbitrator says boston25news.com/news/local/…
Hailey Ferguson retweeted
Managing Partner of Barrault and Associates, Leah Marie Barrault Esq. (@LeahBarrault) said, "The Barrault and Associates team is pleased with the outcome of this matter. The arbitrator’s conclusion that the Commonwealth, and more specifically the Department of the State Police, did not properly administer the reasonable accommodation portion of the religious exemption request process was based on sound facts. She found that eight troopers hold a sincere religious belief that conflicted with the vaccine and that they should have been afforded the opportunity to have their individual accommodation requests reviewed and not summarily discarded. That the Department failed to provide this opportunity violated Massachusetts Law against discrimination. We were honored to be chosen by the Association to fight on behalf of these brave men and women of the State Police, and we look forward to continuing to fight on behalf of them and the thousands of public safety personnel both local and state that we serve on a daily basis."

“Earlier today, I had the distinct honor and privilege of informing seven of our Troopers, who have been suspended without pay due to Executive Order 595, that they would be returning to work. This fight began in October of 2021 when the Association filed a grievance on their behalf. Since then, the Association has been committed to making these members whole. Through this lengthy and grueling grievance and arbitration process, the Association has remained steadfast in our fight to right the injustices of the Baker Administration.
Executive Order 595 was more than just an affront to the hard-working members of the Mass State Police, it was an attack on organized labor and the rights of our members. Governor Baker and his administration refused to listen or work with our Association, but today we can no longer be ignored. These members, whose religious convictions were trampled, and who were left without pay or benefits, now can choose to return to work and will be made whole through retroactive pay and earned seniority.
I would like to personally thank and recognize the hard work of Association Vice President Luke Bonin, who continued to champion this cause through arbitration after my election to Presidency, as well as our legal team from Barrault and Associates, led by managing partner Leah Barrault. Today’s victory would not have been possible without them.
Although today is a day to rejoice and celebrate a win for organized labor, our fight is not finished. Thirteen of our members remain out of work, unfairly terminated by the Baker Administration, and left with the scars of a spiteful and unfounded designation of being dishonorably discharged. To those who doubted our commitment and criticized our fight, today reaffirms what I have said since day one; the State Police Association Massachusetts will always defend our members’ rights.” - Association President Patrick McNamara (@SPAMPresident)

Thank you for letting us come by your meeting today, @PFFNH. It was amazing to hear about the work that your organization is on a local and legislative level. We are looking forward to attending more meetings and working with your locals.

Today Barrault and Associates LLC is pleased to announce the addition of Attorney Kathleen Kiely-Becchetti to our firm as Of Counsel focusing on Massachusetts' public sector retirement law. Through Attorney Kiely-Becchetti's firm, KKB Law Group, we are now poised to not just fight for our clients during their employment, but also throughout the retirement process and after they retire.
Kathleen's legal practice is focused on Massachusetts' public sector retirement law, and she leads one of the counties retirement boards, serves as a Board Trustee for a local retirement system, is the President of the Massachusetts Association of Contributory Retirement System, and is the founder of KKB Law Group. Not surprisingly, Kathleen's career path has intersected with Leah Barrault's. Their organic collaboration has stemmed from shared values and their work representing public employees. Help us in welcoming Kathleen today!

This morning, our Managing Partner, Attorney @LeahBarrault along with @THE_PFFM President MacKinnon and DVP Thomas Ross arrived at the Civil Service Commission for a hearing regarding additional issues with promotional exams. The hearing will address multiple problems raised by the PFFM and regarding HRD's March 25th promotional exams including the education and experience credit cutoff deadline, make up exams, and HRD’s failure to provide candidates a template showing the point structure. @BarraultLaw is proud to continue to fight for fair and equitable promotional exams as part of our mission or defending the labor right of our public safety community. – at Boston, MA

Leah Barrault, managing partner of Milton-based law firm Barrault and Associates, which represents the Fairhaven fire union, said Gonsalves’ department is far from the only one facing staffing challenges. “Many towns will tell you that they have an inability to pay for additional fire staffing,” Barrault said in an email. “However, it is instead an unwillingness, not an inability to pay. … The public is being duped into believing they are safe.”

“Playing politics with firefighters isn’t dangerous — it’s deadly. Something is going to happen and then all of a sudden people will be up in arms, asking ‘How could we have fixed this?’ It’s going to be too late at that point.” @THE_PFFM @BarraultLaw bostonherald.com/2023/04/01/…

An apparatus responding to emergencies with only one firefighter is deplorable and is in flagrant disregard of the fire-fighters working the fire as well as the citizens that they have been sworn to protect. We have your back Fairhaven Firefighters Association, Local 1555! @NourheneChtour1 @APresskreischer @hsferg @THE_PFFM @jasonjburns1 @IAFFofficial

Best of luck to all of our members taking the statewide Lieutenant and Captain, and Boston District Chief exams tomorrow! We know how long you have been preparing for this exam and how frustrating the process has been.
Couldn't think of a better way to spend St. Patrick's Day than with @THE_PFFM! @BarraultLaw
