The Assembly voted unanimously to confirm two of the mayor’s other appointees.
The Anchorage Assembly refused to confirm one of Mayor Dave Bronson’s appointees to the city’s Employee Relations Board after the Alaska AFL-CIO and another union official raised concerns over the man’s actions during his time as president of a local union that led to his removal.
Assembly member Forrest Dunbar, at one point in the discussion, read aloud a part of a letter to the Assembly opposing Peplow’s appointment from Joelle Hall, president of the Alaska AFL-CIO. Adams, in his testimony and in a letter to the city, said he had been alerted by many members of the union about Peplow’s appointment to the board.
“So the bargaining units, my impression is, don’t feel like this person is impartial. And it’s really critical,” Assembly member John Weddleton said. “And maybe he is — I don’t know. Obviously, the resume is pretty spectacular. But if the bargaining units don’t feel like he’s impartial, I think we have a problem because they’re going to make big decisions.”
