Pba elections - time for rivera to go

[Unregistered]

1. THE CURRENT PBA PRESIDENT (JOHN RIVERA) HAS RETIRED FROM MDPD OVER 6 YEARS AGO AFTER FINISHING 5 YEARS OF DROP. HE IS COLLECTING HIS RETIREMENT WHICH HE EARNED, BUT PBA GIVES HIM A STIPEND, HE GETS AN OFF DUTY PAY ALLOWANCE, HE ALSO GETS A CLOTHING AND VEHICLE ALLOWANCE - WHICH IS ALL PAID BY OUR DUES.
2. HE IS PAYING HIS HEAD COUNSEL (bg) $250,000 A YEAR. LIMA IS RETIRED AND PBA IS PAYING HIM AN UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT (HEARD IT WAS OVER $100,000). - WHICH IS ALL PAID BY OUR DUES. WHY IS HE ON THE PAYROLL FOR HEART BILL PRESENTATIONS, THEY COULD DO THAT WITH A VIDEO.
3. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2017, WE HAVE NO CONTRACT AGAIN. SAME THING HAPPENED LAST TIME. LIMA AND HIM DOES NOT CARE BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH RETIRED SO IT DOES NOT AFFECT THEM. LF ALSO RETIRED BUT HAS BEEN HIRED AS AN ATTORNEY, AND HE IS A GOOD ATTORNEY BUT FOR AN UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT. HEAD COUNSEL'S HUBBY RETIRED SO IT DOES NOT AFFECT HER HOUSEHOLD. FUNNY WHEN HE WAS EMPLOYED THOSE K-9 AT THE AIRPORT GOT SPECIFIC TAILORED STIPENDS. NO BARGAINING DATES HAVE BEEN SET, HOW LONG WILL WE GO AGAIN WITHOUT A CONTRACT. IF YOU ARE UNDER 15 YEARS OF SERVICE, ALL WE WANT IS A RAISE, JUST SOMETHING, SO WE CAN PUT TOWARDS OUR HOUSEHOLD. PUT A ME TOO CLAUSE.
4. 3 REPS ARE ALLOWED PER CONTRACT TO BE ASSIGNED TO THE PBA. FOR THE SUPERVISORS CONTRACT THERE IS CAPT VASQUEZ. ENOUGH SAID ON HIM. DOES NOTHING FOR ANYONE BUT HIMSELF. GREAT PICK RIVERA. AND RIVERA NEVER PICKED ANOTHER TWO. FOR THE RANK AND FILE CONTRACT STEADMAN WAS PICKED AS HE IS THE VP. BUT HOW IN THE HECK DID RIVERA PICK NIKKI SEARS?? SHE HAS BEEN WRITTEN UP OVER 20 TIMES AND IS ALWAYS ON LIGHT DUTY. WE SAW YOU PULLING BRANCHES LAST WEEK, AREN'T YOU ON LIGHT DUTY NIKKI?? AND WHY PICK A DISPATCHER THERE IS ONLY LIKE 70 OF THEM. I LIKE HOW YOU TRIED TO CONVICE US IN THE LAST HEAT HOW GOOD THEY ARE, A BUNCH OF BS. MEMBERSHIP IS AROUND 5,800. RIVERA WHY NO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU ARE OUTNUMBERED. WHY ARE NO OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO THE PBA, WE ARE THE MAJORITY OF MEMBERS. MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE.
5. HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW ACTIVE THE PBA IS TRYING TO PORTRAY LATELY (fb). NOT, YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THAT MUCH LIKES. THANKS FOR THE IMPERIAL RICE DURING HURRICANE AS IS WAS BOUGHT WITH OUR DUES MONEY, AND ALPHA SHIFT DID NOT GET ANY. WE SEE HOW YOU HAVE GROWN, SINCE YOU ARE USING THE CREDIT CARD WITH OUR DUES MONEY. MUST BE NICE TO HAVE A BLANK CHECK. SOME OF OUR ETHICS ARE NOT FOR SALE. YOU EAT AND TRAVEL ON OUR DIME, HEARD YOU GOT BLUE IN THE BAR TOO. THEY WANT YOUR VOTES, SO DON'T LET THEM FOOL YOU. ELECTION TIME IN NOVEMBER. SO THERE ARE 5,800 MEMBERS AT $25 A PAY PERIOD WHICH EQUALS TO $145,000 EVERY TWO WEEKS, YEARLY REVENUE DUES IS $3,770,000. HOW MUCH ARE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS TAKING??? WHY ARE NO TREASURY REPORTS POSTED, EVEN CHURCHES POST THEIR REVENUE AND EXPENSES.
6. YOU CONSTANTLY FIGHT WITH THE MAYOR AND JP. NOW THE MAYOR HATES US. WHY WOULD YOU CARE IT DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR INCOME. YOU HAVE BEEN RETIRED FOR A WHILE AND YOU RESIDE IN BROWARD. NO CONTRACT THIS IS A SHAME. YOU FIGHT AT THE MONTHLY PBA MEETINGS TOO. SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON, YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN SPOKEN TO ME AND I GAVE YOU OPPORTUNITIES, CHECK YOUR STACK OF MESSAGES. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU REPRESENTING US, THE LEOS AND SUPPORT STAFF.

*NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE A STAND AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER. I'M SURE RIVERA WILL PLAY DIRTY. ALL THE GREAT K-9s GET RETIRED AT SOME POINT, EVEN THOUGH THEY DID GOOD, BUT THEY HAVE PASSED THEIR PRIME. NO ONE RETIRED SHOULD REPRESENT ACTIVE MEMBERS!! HE IS TOO OUT OF TOUCH. WEAR A UNIFORM, PUT ON A BWC, CARRY A TASER, RIDE WITH US AND SKIP A MEAK BECAUSE WE ARE TOO BUSY HANDLING CALLS. WALK IN OUR SHOES, HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED. PBA HAS IT SET UP THAT YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR 4 YEARS AND 1 DAY (WHICH IS REALLY TWO - 4 YEAR TERMS) IN ORDER TO RUN TO BE PRESIDENT. OUR CHOICES FOR PRESIDENT ARE VERY LIMITED BUT STEADMAN HAS TO ABILITY AND KNOWLEDGE TO TURN THIS SHIP AROUND AND PUT US BACK ON COURSE.
WE WILL REMEMBER, JUST DON'T RUN AGAIN RIVERA AND SAVE YOURSELF THE EMBARASSMENT AND LEAVE ON A HIGH NOTE. YOU WILL LOSE THE LITTLE RESPECT THAT MANY OF US HAVE FOR YOU AND YOU WILL LOSE THE RACE.

CONCERNED LEOs THAT ARE HOLDING THE LINE!!

You really didn't need all caps to deliver your message.

The biggest issues will be an increase in pay and the elimination of punishment from the BWC's. If Rivera gets that accomplished by election time then he should be re-elected.

He is out of touch

Great message but all caps tells me you’re a boob.

Sure, reelect him from life so he can continue making backroom deals with the mayor and taking us for a ride. Make sure his attorney girlfriend sticks around as well and please don't forget Lima, Fuste and Vazquez that will complete the team. Some of you guys like to take it up the rear so go ahead reelect him again you deserve him.

Agree. Something needs to be put in play so the director can stop chopping heads for bullshit

The director is just a tool for the mayor buddy. Heads will continue to be chopped off here as long as anyone questions the director or the mayor's unethical character. Rivera is in bed with the mayor and he bargained to put this director in place. Wake up.

No way this body can discipline will ever stop. Rivera did not do anything to stop it from the beginning

So many trolls on this site. Former disgruntled hypocrites that now want back in. You screwed up when you were called on your lack of morals and now want to ride the Steadman train back in. You are truly disgusting individuals and the sheep that follow are idiots. Get the facts before you comment. Your stupid shines through when you comment without knowing the truth.
