LEOSU loses another unit to SPFPA. 112 Marriott Hotel Services Officers @ The Gaylord Resort and Convention Center voted unanimously to leave the troubled LEOSU after its leadership failed to negotiate a new contract, trapping them into a no gain extension. SPFPA used all our resources and won the Officers the right to vote, and join our SPFPA family.
The FLETC Officers stated that LEOSU failed to provide the service and communication it had promised them. They contacted SPFPA, and with majority support, SPFPA filed a petition with the NLRB on their behalf. LEOSU/Maritas delayed the process by giving the NLRB false information about a new contract. However, when he failed to produce the “new” contract, the election moved forward. LEOSU/Maritas disclaimed interest in the FLETC Officers at the last minute, knowing he had lost all support. SPFPA won the election and welcomed the FLETC Officers to our SPFPA PRIDE.
