    MDPD cops have had enough of PBA squandering the dues money on free lunches and dinners, free cars and vacations.
    They are switching to PLEA who is better equipped to handle the county. And, the dues are much much cheaper.

    PBA doing great!!! Under Stahl’s leadership PBA Membership up by 1200 dues paying members. PBA took over Monroe county deputies and correction deputies. Negotiated and settled many contracts like MDCR and MDPD,
    Step plan for officers in Miami Gardens, City of Doral and Pinecrest. Negotiated solid contract for Miami-Dade County employees; John Rivera never even wanted to meet with mayor leaving the members flat for many years. Constant push back to management and the SAO!!!

    Beware of PLEA and IUPA no experience dealing with cops even less with the difficult job of Corrections Officer look what happened to the BSO detention deputy WOW. Also plea failed representing an black officer who shot a white guy. It was a good shooting even her brass defended her but the panel of majors found it bad PLEA screwed up and she got 30 days off and can now be terminated via memo.

    In 4 years we (mdcr )will be merged with mdpd to be the sheriffs office we are already the strongest union in florida and will need to stay that way if we get a bad sheriff. Any mdcr questions please contact Robert Davis or Steadman Stahl.

    Beware of PLEA they try but have no money nor experience. They are on recruiting mission due to loss of members to PBA which membership is up by 1,200 under Steadman Stahl. They screwed for the officers case from south district and don’t have $$ to hire attorney ti defend him. Another case they messed up was a good veteran officer Eureka Gracia see link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-hero...retain-her-job

    She got screwed bu dumbass panel of majors on a shooting which was a good shoot per SAO and her big brass. But she was black bad guy was white hmmmm? PBA woulda filed injunction in court PLEA doesn’t have knowledge nor money so be very aware of their lies they are trying to stop the exodus of members.

    PLEA cannot defend you especially if the SAO charges you here is why plus the have fee members:

    3. The Executive Board may set a limit on the amount of funds to be spent for the applicant for each matter. In fixing the amount of funds available, the Executive Board shall consider the nature of the accusations, the current hourly rate of the attorneys in the Miami-Dade County area, and the anticipated expense involved in the representation and litigation of the action. In addition, the Executive Board may limit the amount of costs expended in connection with any Public Records Request or other costs necessary to the case. Once this limit has been established, any costs beyond this limit will be the responsibility of the member.

    Another PBA lie...IUPA doesn't represent the Detention Deputies at BSO. Detention is represented by Federation of Public Employees (FOPE).

    Click the link below and read page 5 which reads Deputy Sheriff - Detention in the FOPE contract.

    Where Does $100 to the International Union of Police Associations AFL-CIO Go?
    Whenever a mass shooting occurs in the US (which is a monthly if not weekly occurrence), it seems the phone solicitation calls asking for support for our law enforcement increase. This week, I received a call from an organization called the International Union of Police Associations AFL-CIO asking for a financial donation. I declined but thanked the man calling for alerting me to another non-profit whose IRS Form 990 needs to be looked at.

    The International Union of Police Associations AFL-CIO (IUPA) is a 501 (c) (5) – which is a labor, agricultural or horticulture organization whose object must be the betterment of conditions of those engaged in the pursuits of labor, agriculture, or horticulture, which includes lobbying. Although 501 (5)’s are exempt from federal tax, contributions to these organizations are generally not deductible as charitable contributions.

    According to the Form 990 (2016) covering the year beginning April 1, 2016 to March 30, 2107 submitted by IUPA to the IRS, IUPA is a labor union made up of members of law enforcement, based in Sarasota, Florida. Key pieces of information are as follows:

    IUPA reported $19.4 million in revenue of which only $2.9 million came from membership dues. $16.4 million came from contributions which were primarily phone solicitation fundraisers who were compensated $14.7 million, netting IUPA $1.7 million. In other words, for every $1 raised by the phone solicitation fundraisers, only 10 cents went to IUPA because the phone solicitors kept 90 cents of every $1 or $90 of every $100 raised.

    IUPA reported total expenses of $19.2 million, of which $14.7 million was paid to fundraisers, as stated below:

    $14.7 million (76% of revenue): Fees paid to Fundraisers
    $ 1.8 million (9% of revenue): Salaries, Benefits, Pension, and Payroll Taxes
    $ 1.3 million (7% of revenue): Legal, Accounting and other Fees for Services
    $ 1.0 million (5% of revenue): Office, Occupancy, IT, Insurance, Interest, Per Capita Taxes
    $ 0.3 million (2% of revenue): Travel and Conferences
    $19.2 million: Total Expenses
    Using the above information, $100 in revenue was spent as follows:

    $100: Revenue

    -$ 76: Fees to Fundraisers

    -$ 9: Salaries, Benefits, Pension, and Payroll Taxes

    -$ 7: Legal, Accounting, and other Fees for Services

    -$ 5: Office,Occupancy, IT, Insurance, Interest, Per Capita Taxes

    -$ 2: Travel and Conferences

    -$100: Total Expenses

    However, it is important to point out that if $100 in revenue came from fundraisers, only $10 is provided to IUPA. Basically, IUPA is a labor union with 25 employees whose expenses total $4.5 million a year but whose membership dues only bring in $2.9 million. To make up the $1.6 million shortfall, IUPA relies on fundraisers who end up keeping most of what they raise. If you don’t want 90% of your donation to go to fundraisers, don’t respond to phone solicitations for IUPA.

    IUPA has affiliate organizations whose names are used by fundraisers. These organizations operate out of the same business address in Sarasota go by the following names:

    The Institute for Police Research
    The IUPA Law Enforcement Officers Relief Fund
    The US Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers Association
    International Union of Police Associations – Florida Local 6000 – AFL-CIO
    Law Enforcement Political Action Committee
    Fairfax Deputy Sheriff’s Coalition
    Lee County Deputy Sheriff’s Association
    The phone solicitation fundraiser’s names are:

    Outreach Calling of Reno, Nevada
    Jak Productions, Inc of Atlanta, Georgia
    Charity Appeal of Carson City, Nevada
    Courtesy Call of Las Vegas, Nevada
    Charity Promotions of Birmingham, Alabama
    Donor Relations of Wilmington, Delaware
    Public Awareness of Baton Rouge, Louisiana
    RPI NY of Eatontown, New York
    With Community Services of Baton Rouge, Louisiana
    Statewide Appeal of Baton Rouge, Louisiana
    If you receive a phone solicitation call, ask who is calling (the phone solicitors usually say they are calling on behalf or an organization and don’t tell you who they work for) and do not make a donation unless you want 90% of your donation to go to the above organizations.

    Other key pieces of financial information on the IRS Form 990 include:

    The 25 employees received total compensation of $1.8 million which equates to $72,000 each. Three employees received more than $100,000 in compensation:

    $226,454: Samuel A Cabral, President
    $144,468: John O’Keefe, Executive VP and Secretary/Treasurer
    $139,473: Kevin Boyle, General Counsel
    Each director of IUPA received $800 in compensation.

    IUPA has total assets of $1.9 million which is concentrated in other securities (Prudential and Insignia Equities and bonds) and cash. Liabilities total $1.3 million, most of which is deferred compensation, leaving net assets of about $600,000.

    The bottom line is that IUPA is a labor union whose members don’t pay enough memberships dues to cover the expenses of the organization (most of which are staff, office/occupancy expenses, and legal fees). Instead of using fundraisers to make up the $1.6 million shortfall in revenue needed to cover expenses, IUPA uses fundraisers (who keep 90% of what they raise). IUPA should raise membership dues to cover the services their members pay to be covered for instead of asking the public to cover the shortfall through phone solicitors who kept most of the donations.

    IUPA staff was so professional and helpful when I called today. I told them to send me cards and I will sign up a bunch of members. PBA treats us like third class citizens. Time to pack up
