Lakeland Fire Department administrators unfairly retaliated against the president of an employee union, a hearing examiner for the Florida Public Employees Relations Commission ruled Thursday. The city was ordered to rescind a reprimand to the union president and transfer two lieutenants to their previous stations, The Ledger reports. The city has 15 days to file any objections and is reviewing the 44-page order before deciding next steps. | Hearing officer’s order
