Iupa fails its members again

[Unregistered]

Last night in N Lauderdale there was an incident that necessitated a response from Deputies chosen Union to provide Rep and Legal Representation. The call went out at approximately 11:30am for Reps and Attorneys to respond and just past 11:45am the first PBA Rep arrived on scene. At just before midnight PBA Attorney Tony Alfero arrived on scene. All the times can be backed up by the crime scene log. Anyone want to guess what time the IUPA attorney arrived on scene right around 2:30am!! Apparently due to the ridiculously long response time IUPA Board Member Zeller eventually showed up as well but as has been well documented over and over again he has absolutely zero experience in labor issues so I'm not exactly sure what his role there was other then to try to explain why it took 3 hours for the attorney to arrive. It's quite clear from the way the IUPA Board turned its back on Kenny Auttenrieb when he needed their help and now failed this member in his time of need they are not capable if providing the services that BSO Deputies/Sergeants need because I don't think anyone wants to wait 3 hours for their attorney to show up when their job/freedom is potentionally on the line. Go ahead IUPA deny it, there is a log with what time everyone arrived on scene.

More lies from the PBA, nobody failed anyone and Jason arrived around the same time as the PBA rep. It's sad that the PBA would use a tragedy like this for political reasons. All Deputies involved had legal representation. Who cares who got there first.

Completely untrue IUPA Reps were lost and treated it like an us vs. them situation instead of working with the PBA for the betterment of the members involved.

I was not but plenty of people were PBA and otherwise and none were happy with what they saw. IUPA answer the following questions:

1) Did it take 3 hours for your legal counsel to arrive on scene yes or no, remember there is a log before you make fools out of yourselves and lie?
2) What time did IUPA Reps arrive on scene?
3) What specifically did Jason Zeller do for his member as he has zero expeience in being a Rep??
