Decision Expected in Upper Southampton Police Contract Negotiations

After a year of negotiations and more than four months of working under an expired contract, Upper Southampton Township officials and the police collective bargaining unit have agreed to adhere to the results of binding arbitration.

Township Manager Joseph Golden said an arbitration hearing was held earlier this month to detail the contractual requests of the township and members of the township police in the collective bargaining unit, according to a story on PhillyBurbs.com.

It will be several months before results of the binding arbitration are announced, the story said. 

State law prohibits police from striking.
