(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with a representative of the Road Department union Wednesday as part of the grievance process.
Road Department employees Bryan Dettman, Ron Ramer and Wyatt Martin requested using civil leave on March 24, 2025, instead of vacation or PTO time to attend a hearing on a Court of Industrial Relations case, which they were subpoenaed to testify at.
However, when they were paid, their request to use civil leave was not processed, and instead they had vacation and PTO leave deducted.
The grievance requests the three have their vacation and PTO time returned and their absence from work be put under civil leave.
Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. denied their grievance which was step 1 of the process which is now in step 2 with the County Board to make a decision on whether or not to approve the grievance.
