Selectmen move to executive session to discuss collective bargaining and litigation
Summary
The board voted to enter executive session under 'master general law, chapter 38, section 21 a' to discuss collective bargaining or litigation involving a local union (recorded in transcript as 'ASME local 8 51') and declared it would not return to public session.
At the end of its Aug. 12 meeting, the Board of Selectmen voted to enter executive session to discuss strategy related to collective bargaining or litigation. The chair cited the governing citation as “master general law, chapter 38, section 21 a” and said the topic includes matters that, if discussed publicly, “may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining or litigating position of the public body.”
The chair stated the board would not return to public session after the executive session. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by roll call (members recorded as voting “yes” in the public transcript). No additional public details were provided about the bargaining unit or the specific legal matters; the transcript references a local union recorded as "ASME local 8 51."
