The incident began in May when Saylor wore a department cap while directing traffic, sparking a disagreement with a sergeant that led to charges of dishonesty and insubordination — and his termination in July. Unions say Saylor was denied his right to union representation during the hearing, with his rep barred from asking questions. They’re calling it a deliberate effort to intimidate employees and demand accountability from city leadership. Saylor plans to file a grievance, and unions are pushing the City Council to act — as the city remains silent on the accusations.
