with this office memorializing their agreement that the following described Judicial Law
Enforcement Services Bargaining Unit is appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining:
INCLUDED: Deputy Judicial Marshals; Sergeant, Judicial Marshals; and Captain,
Judicial Marshals.
EXCLUDED: All other employees of the State of Maine, Judicial Branch including,
but not limited to, all other employees in the Administrative Services
Bargaining Unit and the Supervisory Services Bargaining Unit.
The purpose of the Agreement is to remove the positions of Deputy Judicial Marshal and

place these removed positions into a newly-created and separate Judicial Law Enforcement
Services Bargaining Unit. Other elements of the parties’ agreement regarding this new unit are
as follows:
Except as noted below, this agreement is contingent on the parties’ further agreement
that the existing (2009-2011) collective bargaining agreement with respect to the
Administrative Services Bargaining Unit shall apply to the Law Enforcement Services
Bargaining Unit for the duration of that agreement, unless and until the parties negotiate
and execute a successor to that agreement specifically applicable to the Law Enforcement
Services Bargaining Unit. It is the parties’ intent to commence negotiations over the
collective bargaining agreement for the Law Enforcement Services Bargaining Unit prior
to the expiration of the Administrative Services collective bargaining agreement.
In addition, as an exception to the general rule noted in the paragraph above, this agreement
is contingent on the parties’ agreement that the existing (2009-2011) collective bargaining
agreement with respect to the Supervisory Services Bargaining Unit shall apply to the
Captain position for the duration of that agreement, even though that position is now in the
Law Enforcement Services Bargaining Unit, unless and until the parties negotiate and
execute a successor to that agreement specifically applicable to the Law Enforcement
Services Bargaining Unit. It is the parties’ intent to commence negotiations over the
collective bargaining agreement for the Law Enforcement Services Bargaining Unit prior
to the expiration of the Supervisory Services collective bargaining agreement.
The parties agree further that, subject to the collective bargaining process, they intend to
include an addendum to the Law Enforcement Services Bargaining Unit agreement to
address issues specific to the supervisory roles of Sergeants and Captains.
