In the yin yang world of public outrage, Norwalk’s, the NMEA is all geared up to fight a proposal to codify the relationship between the Friends of the Museum and the City. Their position, according to Koch’s article, is that somehow, this codification impugns the job description of the Curator.
“It came up in a discussion I was having with the (city’s) personnel director,” Brey said. “I’ve made it clear, as I have for months, that any attempts to reassign the duties of the curator position to any non-union person, whether it be The Friends or anybody else, is a violation of the Municipal Employees Relations Act, and we would file a prohibitive practices complaint.”
