• The Fraternal Order of Police filed a “Charge Against Employer” against the City on Tuesday with the State’s Public Employees Relations Commission. Peyton, according to the charge, had an impromptu lunch meeting with two officers and discussed the budget and union concessions. It charges that Peyton’s “actions and comments were intentional and designed to usurp and interfere with President (Nelson) Cuba’s position and authority as leader of the FOP collective bargaining unit.” Adam Hollingsworth, Peyton’s chief of staff, made a statement Wednesday afternoon: “We are focused on saving the city money and treating employees fairly and we’re not going to be distracted by these kinds of antics.”
