The fop is completely broken all that fuzz about the insurance is another scare tactics for people to stay with the fop. Faith has been lost because Armando eagerness to poison, ruin people career and have his own son promoted under a scandal of favoritism to the new chief and the mayor. Not even could the fop bring the members together for a rally at the marlin stadium.....turn off lights and bring the PBA....

Pension Stabilization

Unread postby The Voice » 09/17/08 07:54:47
Thank you Armando for the recent letter addressing the deadline of the Pension stabilization ( Deadline date September 30,2008 ) Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't i say that we had until the end of the fiscal year ending September 30,2008 to develop and implement the pension stabilization. I guess you forgot to read the FOP Contract Article 44 page 81. Wait!... I remember, you called me a liar on all my allegations. Now the City is asking for a 180 days extension. If not the deal will fall through and we will NOT get our retro raises.

Ok.. What's in it for us? ( i know whats in it for you ). If we don't give the extension.. NO MONEY!
If we vote YES on the extension we don't have any guarantees that they won't ask for another 180 days.

Brothers and Sister's the Pension Stabilization was accomplished per contract with in the time frame as agreed.. Its the Citys fault that they haven't agreed to implement said article.

If we don't Vote for an extension we lose due to a faulty writing contract! Thank you State FOP President Armando. Keep the fight within the Department your doing a hell of a job!

There is always the option of voting no. Which would shock city hall because the cost to the city will be enormous in the coming year or two considering the state of the stock market. But don't fret, we will get it. It will probably be pushed through, amazingly, right before the FOP elections. Then Armando will go out and crow about what an outstanding job he did. He may still win but we need change. Avila will be heading out after the next election. He should just go ahead and put a bid in now. He has enough time to get an A shift slot. Someone needs to explain the NET zones to him and the new signal changes but he'll be alright.

You can always tell when Avila or Sergio come on here to post. You guys are so easy. And funny. By the way Sergio how is the union doing in getting your position upstairs? Not very good huh? I bet you can figure out why. Think really, really hard. Avila, you will be out soon my friend. Try and get the FOP vote to come up along the same time as a bid so at least you can stay south. Read all the posts from earlier. The time for change is coming. The most important thing here for most of us is our money. And it's not coming any time soon. By the way, instead of trying to drum up support here, do you think Armando or Avila could actually come to a rollcall once in a while instead of only when its election time. How about letting us know face to face whats going on? And don't tell me to go to meetings. I have other things going on. The FOP works for us. We do not work for them. Maybe you sh1ouldn270't forget that.

last meeting FOP topic! How Armando is going to save us from a bad faith contract. He stated that he feels confident that in less than 180 days the negotiations will be finalize. That means Brother and Sister 6 more month of waiting... The retro is ONLY on your base salary... City is saving millions on NOT paying for overtime salary increase.

The Sgt exam test result will not be Posted tomorrow! Official bulletin announcement on this Friday CANCELING ORAL BOARDS. Any question call Dr Kraus 305-416-2104 at the MRC 7th floor. If you wounder what happen... ask Armando at the FOP.! Its called playing with the numbers and names. The City and the FOP can never do anything correct. Something so simple! At least those who took the test are starting to have grounds for a excellent Lawsuit! Good luck maybe all who took the test will be part of the lawsuit scam. But remember, if you are not part of the A team in the FOP you will not be part of the lawsuit. For exsample, the 94 sgt exam lawsuit the Fop only supported a small percent of loyal fop members the rest got the finger. Thats a Fact and True! Armando Please stop screwing your members. Please do the right thing and leave.

Hey admin guy! Eres un estupido. What the hell are you talking about you idiot. If the FOP and administration wanted to get it right they would do it like the County. Maybe since your head is up someone ass to keep your admin job let me tell you. As soon as you take your Sgt exam at the County they grade your test within one hour! THATS ONE HOUR! YOU HAVE THE RESULT PASS OR FAILED! NOT 3 WEEKS LATER AND THEY ARE GOING TO STILL MAKE YOU WAIT MORE WEEKS!

Brother's and Sister's just admit it. You love it here at MPD taking it in the rear.

You have a FOP union that only worries about themself. God only knows what the hell they are doing.

I heard some people came late to the Sgt exam! Hey stupit to bad! 730am is not 805am. Your late!

Maybe next time Armando would be at the test location making sure your union rights are protected,instead of drinking coffee en la calle ocho! What a good scam that loser has.

We looked around the roll call room 9 out of 10 people didn't know who he was. But we all knew Ortiz. I guess that the line you are using...Come to the meetings if you want to informed is not working anymore. So, Mr. Armando i think your going to have your hands full in Nov.

Ortiz we heard that Armando was teaching you the ropes. Don't get misguided! The laugh might be on you if you don't run.

We need change! So Run, Please include an Annuel Budget Report at the end or start of the year.

PS! Armando you work for us. So it's your job to keep your members informed not the other way around. Next election in 2010 maybe if you would come to the roll calls and station informing your members you might get re elected.

The idea is not to resign from the FOP but to have some accountability. We need a strong police union. But people wanna know where the money is going. By reading the posts here and listening to officers on the street its easy to tell that people are not happy with Armando and Carlos. Our last contract was owed more to MGPD than to their work. The stabilization is a mess. The 7 year drop was a back-room deal. And the arrogance of Carlos is sickening. Some of them actually can't fathom the idea that they work for us. If you can't make a meeting you still should be informed. A newsletter or a basic website would be nice. Being able to call the FOP and talk to someone that speaks English would also be nice. The union takes in 30000 or so a month. People need to know where the money is going. Then we can stand together strong as a union.

People are so fed up with the FOP that nobody shows up anymore. Stop all this BS about if you wanna know, show up. Each and every member should be notified of everything going on within the union, whether or not they show up. How about a decent website, newsletter, or mass email? Anything. When was the last time you saw Armando or Carlos at a rollcall? The rookies in the South End don't even know who they are. Its embarrassing already. The purpose of the union is to make things better for the members. Not get into personal fights with the administration. Now the union can do nothing for members when they need something.

The last three exams have all been the same in structure and contested questions but, for some reason Armando decided not to sit on this review board even though he NEVER met with the MEMBER OFFICERS WHO TOOK THE EXAM. Yes, Ortiz and Armando you make decisions everyday but, when it affects 300 officers attempting to get promoted you should give them a VALID reason why this time you decide not to sit.

The bottom line is that this could have been all avoided. Our President took a sole action base on the recommendation of the F.O.P. Attorney. The exam was in motion already and it affected alot of people directly and indirectly. Alot of wasted time and money. Armando, if you had these concerns it could have easily been address prior the exam.

Our Union fought for the right to participate in the review committee and now we are going to give up that benefit.

Scarola your a piece of SHIT! and i will see you again at the next Civil Service Meeting!

Carlito my brother, that was Funny as shit what you did! I didn't know if i was going to fall laughing or run. ( Were you trying to attack me or going to the bathroom ) Either way, i already contacted Jeff to put us down for the next fight.

I would like to thank everyone who attended and participate last night at the meeting! At the end if we unite in everything we will win. Armando and Excutive board I got my eye on you!

Re: Mirabile Cutting our Pay?

Unread postby Thresh » 04/22/09 13:09:20
I don't see where the Fire Dept. can have a problem with Hector Mirabile; check out their contract. They have a heck of a lot more benefits than the FOP got for us.

As an example, Fire Dept. has a handfull of captains (equivalent to Lt. on the Police Dept.) that made more money than Timoney, the highest paid employee on the Police Dept. in 2008.

In addition,in the Fire Dept., all the extra pay (equivalent to our FTO, CIT, SWAT, etc.) do not have a set number of slots as we do (If you are certified EMT, SWAT Medic, driver, etc., you get the pay even if you aren't performing those duties at that time.) We only have a set number of CIT slots even if you are certified and actually do CIT work.

The FOP sold us a bill of goods by telling us that breaking parity with the Fire Dept. would get us increased pay. It worked the other way around.

Thanks for nothing Armando, Carlos and Hector.

This is a typical response when threatened. The FOP is not looking to take care of its memebers just for personal gain of a few. It was clear as Armando Auguilar paraded his wife during the swearing in, lobbying for a job. They are pushing for Manny Arosa to maintain the status quo and use the union as leverage for personal gain. It is clear that Mr Exposito was not in agreement with keeping files on public officials and I applaude him for that, the only puporse for that would be for blackmail. If there was a violation it should have been addressed as Mr Exposito said, not archived for future use. We need a change in the FOP as well. Lets all remember the Mercado incident and Manny Arosa being involved in a possible cover up. He was relieved of duty but unlike in these times there was some code and he was spared maybe just a reprimand or a spank. Documents in the City are not readily available as has been clear in recent requests for eeoc complaints on Adam Burden. The sad part is he boasts about having a source to block them. Unfortuanatelly for him Federal records are public and the FBI and US attorneys office do play these games they are legit and I commend them for it. The prior administration has demorialized our department lets remoralize it by allowing a real change in Mr Exposito. His background was was not blocked unlike others he is clean as a whistle.

Relieved of duty along with Officer Camacho were Detectives Andy Watson, Tommy Trujillo, Charlie Haynes, Ron Sinclair and Nathaniel Veal, along with the drug squad's leader, Lieut. Michael Christopher, and Sgt. Manuel Orosa. They were accused of violating departmental rules after the confrontation by failing to protect a crime scene and allowing the six detectives to leave the scene.

This is a direct quote from a news source at the time of the incident. This is who the FOP is lobbying for along with Armando's wife for city Manager, and his son for sgt at arms to start. This was after Adam Burdens EEoc complaints came to light. They are out of choices and cannot find a downside with Mr Exposito and niether can the City. I would applaud the Mayor for appointing Mr Exposito. Oh by the way the FOP has never gotten involved in any political campaign but in this case they teamed up with Armando Guitierez at the end of the campaign to have leverage. I hope Mr. Guitierrez as a smart man sees through the smoke and realizes that a change is needed there as well and confers with his candidate. The only honest true supporters were the mebers of the HOA. They have not asked for anything and have acted in a profesional manner to benifit the entire force. The question is maybe the HOA along with the other minority unions are better representation for those risking our lives in Miami.

If by now you haven't realized that the FOP board is firmly planted in bed with the new administration and the new mayor then you need to go to vision works! The media shows the FOP president and vice president going to lunch with Exposito and Regalado, Carlos Avila appointed (or anointed) to be senior executive assistant, and all the other shennanigans! The FOP will follow their own agenda, and use Javier Ortiz to spoon feed it to us. He will use terms like "Court Liasion Smackdown" (that is unprofessional). Just wait till contract time the FOP is going to hand our ass over to the city. It is not good for your collective bargaining entity to be so lovey dovey with the city administration. There should be a good working relationship, but to be walking around city hall holding hands and playing kissy face is not good! Be prepared to give up the 3% in April, and who knows what else in 2010.

Just in case for all of you critics (this means you Luisito) I AM NOT A COMMANDER THAT WAS DEMOTED, I AM NOT A MAJOR THAT WAS DEMOTED, AND I AM NOT A LIUETENANT THAT WAS RE-ASSIGNED. I'M JUST A POLICE OFFICER THAT HAS BEEN HERE FOR 17 YEARS!

The FOP is taking care of thier own. Their own not being the membership, but their children and friends. Sons on the health trust. Sons of friends as vice president, always the same delegates, only fighting for the rights of some but not others, officers accepting jobs as staff then continuing to attend meetings.

I heard Armando say that he got rid of Timoney when actually term limits got rid of Timoney . While Armando was palying this game we still do not have stabiliaztion, we lost three paid holidays and other benefits, we have terrible insurance, we will not see our April raise, and the list goes on and on.

The membership must ake back the union. Get involved, run for office, pass a motion that no more absentee ballots will be passed out by executive board members, no more shouting down members at meetings who have concerns, and lets have a tranparent account of where the money is going.

The FOP does not have your back guys and girls! They brag about getting rid of the old adminstration which is fine by me but I see many backdoor deals in the years to come. The FOP board members are not looking out for our best interest they are in bed with the administration/mayor and when contract time comes they won't put up a fight like they did before. Some members on our board have hidden agendas that won't come to light until it's to late. If it doesn't benifit their future they won't do it aka don't piss of big daddy mayor or Adminstrition.

I think the majority of the Dept believes and agrees is time for change. Yes Armando and Carlos Avila have sold us out with empty promises and right out lies. Done Deal Pension stabilization that never came costing us thousand of dollars. They never stood up admitting responsibility for a bad written contract. They made back door deals with Manny Orosa and Expo to over throw T$ to benefit a few. They kept us in the dark for years with more promises of attending roll calls. Now they are demanding salary and pension cuts. I say you want to save money start with closing the north end, south end, SOS office and IA. make one centralized station and have the community create and donate sub stations like we did in the past. We have computers and net areas...so no need to waste time in centralize roll calls. Why should we be the ones to pay. Better yet lets meet at the motor pool!! You want to save gas.

This is confirmed information take it for what it is because I've already asked Mr. Armando. Speak your mind and be prepared to face layoffs that won't be a buff this time.

In Regalados' mind, he has paid the FOP back for their support (the end of the honeymoon phase). We the rank and file who had NO ties to the old administration and/or the FOP paid the ultimate price. (Thank you Armando)

Way to go FOP way to go. Bring on the PBA or the Teamsters say goodbye to the good old days of the Armando politics and corruption.

The Mayor spent $65,000 of the City's budget for the Three Kings Parade, in order to get support from Univision Radio (WQBA, Radio Mambi, etc.).

This money was used without Commission approval, as required. Our salaries were reduced and our benefits cut, yet this lowlife mayor we have is quick to give away the money they took fom us to a bllionaire business in exchange for these favors.

Armando knows this happened over a month ago, and he was informed by our guys in the Special Events office. But he has not said one peep because he doesn't want to hand-up or upset the good mayor.If you guys had any doubt about Aguilar being in bed with the Mayor, those doubts should be erased.

Unread postby downtown flea market » 02/05/11 15:45:46
Removing Exposito will not stop the divide in our department and the hand of Regalado under the FOP's skirt. The state department should take a serious look at the corruption here.




Police departments are strange organizations. You’ve got a lot of people with very strong personality needs, close knit groupings of individuals who put their lives and trust in each other’s hands, a lot of testosterone, and a need for strong leadership.

It doesn’t take long - and there are numerous case-histories and studios of what happens to big city police departments who spin out of control - when the leadership at the top is ineffective, corrupt or just plain stupid.

On Thursday I posted a letter from Sgt. Javier Ortiz, the Vice President of the Miami Fraternal Order Of Police. Tonight, I am posting another newsletter from another faction within the police department that demonstrates that inside the Miami Police Department there are not only unhappy cops, but more importantly cops who are beginning to openly question the leadership of the department AND it’s own police union leadership.

This is not a good thing for the Police Department, the City of Miami, nor the citizens of this community.

This is as clear an illustration of what a failure of leadership can do to a police department, and the ultimate people responsible for what is happening is the Mayor and his hand-picked, but wussy City Manager.

The longer this embarrassing failure to act decisively continues, the more damage will occur to the police department, and the harder it will be for a new chief to come in and try to clean things up.

When a police force fractures, like the Miami Police Department is in the process of doing, it will be sooner rather than later that there will be hell to pay.

This isn’t Egypt, but the principles that apply to what is going on in Egypt can be applied to what’s going on in Miami. When an obstinate and unpopular leader digs in his heels and refuses to face the reality in front of him, and there is no one with the power or courage to face him down and do what needs to be done to remove him, a lot of people can get hurt while the inevitable works its way into reality

Someone - no, the City Manager - has to step up to the plate and end this mess, or the City Manager needs to go.

It’s that simple, Tony Crapp, put up, or get out of the way.

remember folks once you give to the city your never getting it back

Thank you
Armando & Ortiz for deceiving some of our members when asked about the books.

I don't think there is anything funny about Kerr. I don't find him to be a joke. I think he is much more credible than someone like Ofc. Lugo. Who is this Lugo guy except Sgt Ortiz personal friend.
Many have become tired of the FOP leadership and their deafening silence. The Prersident is all but lost in space. Houston we have a problem. Where have you gone Armando? Has anyone seen him?

Armando must have started this thread, because in today's Nuevo Herald he is quoted by Bernadete Pardo as slamming the chief for being insubordinate.

It's almost that time when we have to start considering the recall of the union president.

The City will lose another 10 million as all the senior guys start checking out this year. If the Chief cashes out he will break the bank even more. God help us. Armando needs to push for a 10 drop so no one will cash out there chips and increase the debt by other 10 millions and the City starts lay off cops. If not, watch your pay check take 3rd hit.

Dear Ortiz & Armando
The troops can't afford another paycut or layoffs. We are being worked double for less and more are retiring placing extra burdens on our guys in patrol. We've lost to much so far and with the recent downgrade to our bonds we will be losing even more in the future.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING
Image

This post will be continually updated with what our union is failing to do and address.

DID YOU KNOW:

- Our union is still taking trips with our money
- Claims we are at WAR with the city yet has stopped it's efforts before starting
- Failed to Notify us members ahead of time of impending future cuts and layoffs.
- Failed to fight at commission meetings to prevent wasteful, unjust, and even corrupt spending habits by city officials. (This effects us too)
- Has failed to challenge the Mayor in any ways similar to the way the challenged Diaz.
- NO boycotts of city
- Failed to address election procedures
- Centralized roll calls or even coming to visit members at roll calls
- No challenges to over 300+ new hires by mayor while in a freeze.



I could list several other things to bring up but for now I'll let this be discussed. Our union has Failed us and continually does each and every day. We need accountability and when future cuts come our way I want a few heads to roll.


As i said the clock is ticking

Please add more to the list we need to put pressure on our union.

Cancel BOLO for FOP (Javi & Armando)

Unread postby larrye » 07/06/11 17:58:27
Armando and Javi have finally come out of hiding. They have been nowhere to be found as of late especially since their guy, "the IMBECILE mayor" has been getting his butt kicked all over the media. This is the mayor that illegally opened up our contract and took money out of our pockets. Yesterday Armando came out of hiding to announce to the media that it was his opinion that the chief has to leave at the end of his drop. Today both these traitors pushed out an e mail detailing a meeting they had with the manager, the chief and Asst. Chief Blom. They say they want to kick cops out of TOS and some other places and put them in Patrol since the department is spending too much on overtime. Since when is that an issue. Just recently there were e mails showing how the mayor let Univision and Lincoln Marti Schools off the hook for the police overtime accumulated for work performed at the 3 kings parade, Jose Marti parade and the MLK Parade. Although the mayors pals were presented with invoices he said they could have it for free. That's real nice however this is over $200K which has been charged to the police overtime budget. The FOP should have been up in Arms but they kept silent on the issue as they are in bed with that imbecile thief of a mayor and did not want to upset hem. All of a sudden today they are concerned about the chief spending overtime in patrol. These two clowns need to crawl back in their holes. Armando will do anything to get a staff position and Javi is the ultimate FOLLOWER.

That's real nice Javi and Armando. You bozos can't run a tab at the bar at the FOP, but you're going to tell the chief how to run a police departnent. Rather than giving advice to the chief, why don't you grow some and tell the city administration that they can save money by charging all these for-profit companies for in-kind (free) cops on overtime for parades and other events.

It turns out that these companies that get free services from the city are making money by charging other sponsors to participate. You don't hear a peep from Armando and Javi. You guys have no credibility.

One other question. The budget started in October, and now you're concerned about the budget?

My understanding is that union is in bed with our Mayor. Witin the last couple of year we have only been screwed with all contact negotiations. Brother & sister I think is time to stand up for whats right and stop ignoring the promises and lies from (Javi & Armando). At the end of the day its us Rookies who are going to pay with our jobs. Don't let history repeat itself and be handed pink slips. The truth of the matter is the same tactics the were used on us in our last contract and will probably be used on us come September 2011. Don't let our union foul you, the signs are there and the begining to our faith is near. I can guarantee you, no one is going to want a second paycut espeacially (the veterans) during these economic times. We as rookies are the future of the departments so lets stand up and fight along with our veterans brothers for whats right !

To Think the Unthinkable

As all of us in the Miami Police Department wait to face the October 1, 2011 category 5 hurricane paycuts, we may all need to think the unthinkable. With an impotent FOP leadership entering a "top secret" negotiation with the city like last year, we need to brace ourselves for the unthinkable. Last year under the incompetent leadership of Armando and Javi, the FOP failed us as the city's "urgency" measure raped us with an historic paycut. This year what will it be as the FOP leadership is run over by a bulldozer. Another "urgency" rape or will it be a "furlough" rape for 2012. And guess what? 2013 and 2014 will be worse. Under the leadership of an idiot mayor and a brain dead group of commissioners, Miami unemployment will skyrocket to 20% as property devaluation continues to bleed city finances. We need to think the unthinkable. Maybe Miami Police need to join the Miani-Dade Police. Sounds insane? Yes it does. But no more insane than a police officer making $60,000 in 2010 and then making $38,000 in 2013 while trying to pay for mortgage, rent and feed their children.
