It is disappointing to read, but here's the link the Florida Supreme Court decision to the FRS lawsuit http://www.floridasupremecourt.org/deci ... 12-520.pdf

Okay. We recorded another video discussion on the FRS lawsuit. Hal Johnson, PBA's General Counsel, explains the ruling in some detail and we discuss where we go from here.

Warning: The audio is not great and we didn't realize until after we cut the video.

Hey Matt, look at your link. Only 5 post and one is yours. No one cares at PBA. That is why many LEO's are leaving your failed union. :lol:

After a very careful review of both budgets, a version of the PBA seniority/compression raise is included in both the House and Senate budgets.

In the Senate Budget:
For all three PBA bargaining units: FDLE Special Agents, State Law Enforcement Officers, and FHP Chapter the following pay raises will apply.
1) Officers with 5 years or less will get a three percent pay increase to the base salary.

2) Officers with 5 years or more will get a five percent pay increase to the base salary. This raise is on top of the 3% across the board pay increase for all state employees.

In the House Budget:
For the same three PBA bargaining units:
Officers will get an additional 3% increase in addition to the $1,400 across the board raise.

Sorry for the delay in getting all of the budget numbers together.

Remember - Negotiations will begin between the House and Senate soon.

Thank you and stay safe
