Employees request investigation hearing into supervisor treatment; board schedules hearing
Summary
Several city employees filed a request for an investigation hearing alleging improper treatment by a supervisor; the Personnel Board voted to schedule the hearing.
Attorneys representing multiple city employees asked the City of Miami Personnel Board to schedule an investigation hearing alleging mistreatment by a supervisor in facility maintenance.
OC Reiner, attorney for several named employees including Ronaldo Valdez (electrician), Jose Garcia (air-conditioning mechanic) and Guillermo Torres (facility management), asked the board to hear allegations that the employees were subject to unfair treatment by their relatively new supervisor, Roman Martinez. The filings cite grounds for dismissal, suspension or demotion and reference alleged violations of civil-service rules. A board member moved to schedule the requested investigation hearing; the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: the requested hearing concerns alleged supervisor misconduct that could affect personnel actions and workplace conditions in facility-maintenance operations. The board’s decision to schedule a hearing initiates a process that may consider Rule 17 and other internal civil-service procedures cited by counsel.
Supporting details: the request lists multiple employees and alleges the supervisor’s conduct has harmed employee working conditions; counsel said the supervisor is a recent appointee. The board asked staff to place the matter on the schedule and to notify the parties of hearing logistics.
