City commission blocks dispatchers from police bargaining unit
The Lawrence City Commission, by a 4 to 1 vote, upheld a January 1979 resolution placing dispatchers in the technical clerical group rather than with police officers, detectives and corporals in the two existing bargaining units Local 1596 IAFF and LPCA. Dispatchers argued their duties overlap with law enforcement and could be improved through negotiations. City officials promised immediate steps to address dispatcher concerns, including lighting contracts and possible new supervisory roles, while dispatchers’ representative expressed mixed resolve.

National enrollment stands at 84 percent for wheat and 74 percent for corn and milo, with final figures due in about two weeks.
