In his lawsuit, filed on March 19, former Sheriff's Deputy David Wozniak stated that Sheriff Corpus was "hostile and resistant" to the union's endorsement process during her 2022 election campaign. He claims that his subsequent demotion was a direct result of the union's failure to endorse Corpus. This raises questions regarding political influence on personnel decisions within law enforcement agencies.
Wozniak asserts that he was demoted from his acting sergeant position to deputy shortly after Corpus's election, alleging that this demotion reflects retaliatory behavior due to his political activities with the union. His legal representation argues that such actions violate the legal protections offered to labor union members.
Aenlle's defense asserts that Wozniak's claims of interference lack substantive evidence, labeling them as mere "bad-mouthing" and maintaining that the allegations do not fulfill the necessary legal criteria to constitute a violation of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act.
The ongoing court drama has sparked additional scrutiny regarding Aenlle's conduct towards the unions, which has led to a no confidence vote among union members, signaling discord within the law enforcement community.
