The recent posts by numerous members of our union that are anti FOP should be reserved until after our current negotiations are finalized. This forum,(though beneficial to those who wish to remain anonymous) has been utilized by officers as an outlet (previously unavailable) to compare and contrast various topics, such as those previously expressed in detail.
However, since this is a public forum and we already have an open dialogue with the town, the negative posts can only have an adverse effect that is sure to result in a efficacious conclusion.
I am not attempting to exclude any/all ardent opinions or contradict your beliefs, I am simply requesting that we refain from openly discussing these private issues in the current format. Also, for clarity, I am submitting this open request as a concerned fellow member and not acting in any other capacity. Thank you for your consideration on this vital and crucial topic.
