Union to Appeal Hanns Action Ousting 16 Men
John Kelly says he will appeal County Engineer Gerald Hanns dismissal of 16 Local 1915 State County and Municipal Employes Union members for insubordination to the State Personnel Board of Review. Kelly expects to file by next Thursday and notify the board early next week, contending the firings were political and unjust and that civil servants cannot be forced to reapply. If the appeal fails, an Athens County Cammon Pleas Court petition could follow. Hann maintains the firings were legal and not for political reasons, and he plans to submit the names of the discharged men to state offices in Columbus.
