Her presentation is called "JLMC negotiations, Strategies & Tactics" will discuss her experience of bargaining on behalf of several dozen PFFM locals.

Attorney Bryant also has experience presenting at PFFM over the past decade. He will be presenting two sessions on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 3, entitled "Employee Discipline: Before the Lawyer Gets There." Bryant will drawn upon his 12 years of experience representing public safety officers to help PFFM locals defend their members facing discipline. Bryant will walk through the definition of just cause and show local officials how to investigate discipline claims to help cut down on your legal bills.
