Don't follow court cases much? This is the case of the BSO Union President who remains ROD and unable to run the Union. Hey guess what, he has the same attorney as we do....
Bell’s complaint claims that four days after the opinion piece ran, the sheriff retaliated by suspending him and starting an Internal Affairs probe that hinders Bell’s full-time union work. The International Union of Police Associations Local 6020 represents 1,400 deputies and sergeants.
On Friday, Fort Lauderdale U.S. District Judge Raag Singhal dismissed the lawsuit on the basis that Bell, who is still being paid by BSO, “cannot establish that he has suffered an adverse employment action.” The judge wrote it’s unclear that Bell cannot function as union president because of restrictions placed on him during the internal investigation.
Singhal did not dismiss the suit with prejudice, meaning Bell could refile a new complaint if he were disciplined, his attorney Robert Buschel said. On Saturday, Buschel filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal.
The newspaper article set off a series of events in the ongoing war between Tony and the union leader. On April 10 Bell sent what his complaint called a “whistleblower letter” to Tony requesting a meeting about the coronavirus response.
Instead, Bell was immediately suspended, told he lost the status that allowed him to work for the union, and was placed under investigation. Internal Affairs notified Bell the office was looking into his truthfulness, alleged corrupt practices, employee statements, conduct unbecoming an employee and discretion, Singhal recounted in his order.
