More TRUTH:
Do a search on this site about Cecil and the PBA: you owe it to yourself and your family
I'm an union member from Port St Lucie PD that is glad we dumped Coastal Florida PBA. We are happy on making the switch to IUPA. All of our executive board officers with IUPA are our own police officers, not someone located in Daytona Beach. We control our own destiny. Trust has been restored by switching to IUPA. Something that was lacking with Coastal PBA. We run our own union, have our own officers and have our own local meetings. Can you say that about Coastal Florida PBA.
We have a labor attorney at the bargaining table from a reputable law firm, not just a staff rep doing the negotiating like Coastal did. Everything that was promised has been delivered. If we want to open up a local office, we can if we choose to. However, right now there isn't a need to since all of the executive members are "OUR OWN OFFICERS" and are "LOCAL".
No more having a different attorney every year since Coastal PBA has a hard time retaining them. Then again, you wouldn't want to use any of the one's they have or had.
Coastal PBA acts more like a dictatorship than listening to their members. Your Coastal VP in Brevard County is proof of that.
Now lets see, Coastal Florida had Vice Presidents in Port St Lucie and Melbourne and both departments DUMPED Coastal Florida. Now Brevard County has a Vice President with Coastal PBA and they are considering to DUMP Coastal Florida PBA. I GUESS THIS TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR LEADERSHIP OR LACK OF.
The St Lucie County Sheriffs Office is also considering DUMPING Coastal Florida PBA by a decertification vote or upon the expiration of their contract.
In closing, please consider your move to IUPA. You will not be disappointed. Happy in Port St Lucie.
