I spoke with a Fire department capt. and he got on the horn with their union. He was in agreement to assist us in a picket of city hall and Big Blue if they try and sell us that crap of a 4/3/3. Remeber the contract before this mayor fire got a 6/6/6 raise?
We have every reason to stand strong. We are in the best position we have been in during the 12 yrs i have been here.
The mayor is up for reelection.
Crime is down, way down.
Tax revenue is up
They overfunded our pension and just got 1.5 million more than they thought they had.
Look at the bonus issue, 5K for the majors?
Now imagine a picket line around city hall ....
There offer was an absolute slap in the face. It was an insult. We post those numbers and then do reward us with a 4/3/3.
So my question is are we willing to stand united and picket if necessary?
