City settles La Crosse police grievance dispute
The Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission denied the remaining grievance by the La Crosse Professional Policemen’s Association. It ruled the Police and Fire Commission did not violate the contract when lowering the lieutenant promotion test score from 75 to 70, enabling six officers to qualify. The matter ends with the city allowed to post vacancies and adjust positions as directed, though the commission holds the authority to change promotion rules.
