PBA honchos Are making their rounds to save the income they generate from our dues money. They can bring out as many idiots as they can find but I’m voting PBA out.
The President Talks down to us as if We are
Children. Send as many as you want but I want you out. You don’t care about us EXCEPT when you are fearful of Losing income.
Stop wasting our time.

PBA hates us anyway because we investigate their shootings. That’s not our choice but they hate us just the same. I’m voting out and regardless what happens I’m quitting my membership

Post To Quit the PBA
I had been considering quitting the PBA for quite some time, for reasons that are now obvious to all. After the final straw of some very rude, unprofessional (read: ****ish) text messages sent to me by one of the PBA representatives, I did quit. Quitting the union isn't a decision to be made lightly, and isn't without consequences (mainly, loss of representation in the event of police-related legal issues.)

If you make the decision to quit the PBA, the process is very simple. First, send an email to: laura@flpba.org, stating your name, your address, and the last four digits of your SSN, so she can confirm your identity. In the email, state your desire to cancel your PBA membership. In about a day, you will receive a response stating that the PBA has cancelled your membership, and letting you know all the valuable prizes you have lost out on. There will be a letter attached advising the City to stop taking PBA dues from your check. Print the letter, sign it, and give copies of the signed letter to Charlie Dormer at LPD, and to City Payroll (you can give it to the LPD payroll ladies, but they will just send it over to City Payroll. I inter-officed it to City Payroll, and also emailed a signed copy to all the City Payroll people).

That's it, you've quit the PBA. It's very likely that not paying the PBA dues will be the only raise you get for quite a while.
