Well, there is a Lieutenant's position open now....

Yes there is, and thankfully it will be filled off of the new list!

No sir-ree. The vacancy for captain existed in 2010, so LH will be promoted per the CBA. Congratulations Lieutenant Linda Hamilton! [/quote:2omphhyx]

Doesn't matter. Capatins are not covered by the CBA. The vacancy for Lt occurred in 2011. Congrats to whomever off the new list!

If a Captain position existed then also did a Lieutenant and a Sergeant. This is a chain of command. LH should be the next Lieutenant promoted or she would have a valid grievance. A valid question to ask is, why was the position made after the end of the year? What benefit did it have for the agency? Was it made 2 weeks after the end of the year in order to avoid promoting certain people? However, this is all speculation and the sheriff is very familiar with the contract. We don't know exactly what is going on. I would be shocked if he would deliberately try to circumvent the contract. I expect that she will be promoted and she may already have gotten the word. We will just have to wait and see.

If she didnt treat people the way she sometimes does, maybe this wouldnt have happened

What an azzclown.

Listen folks:

1. This is a RIght to Work State. Unions are paper tigers and mean nothing in the end...
2. The County Commissioners will be taking more money away from the budget. Taking not negotiating to take. No more threats of going to the governor to get the money because this governor is going to side with the Commish
3. Lay-offs are inevitable so there will probably be reductions in rank before there are more promotions. This is the trend nationwide for robust agency's with a lot of dead weight.
4. The last thing this agency needs is more supervisory ranks. The watch commanders trip and stumble all over themselves as do the sergeants and then throw in a Captain or two as command duty officer.

One poster mentioned chain of command. Therein lies the problem. Some of the links can easily be eliminated and the job will still get done, just without a couple of hefty salaries standing around to make notification phone calls. All of the administrative staff have nice little county paid phones with all of the bells and whistles of email and stuff so why do we need such a defined chain of command when a simple email can suffice for notification. The presence of command staff at the scene or sitting in a lounge chair will never change the outcome anyway.

Trim the fat because the PBC Commish is fixin' to slice and dice FIre and the Sheriff's budgets. The PBA seems to be a deaf mute these days - wonder why?

L if your are suing then good for you. Subpoena every record you can and take it to court. You will win without a doubt. Does anybody know why the sheriff waited 27 days after the expiration of the previous list to promote another captain? Did anybody retire? Will the Sheriff be promoting another lieutenant anytime soon? Did he wait to make the promotion because he wanted to avoid promoting certain people.?. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then you have to believe it is a duck. I’m pretty sure a jury will see it as a duck as they have in the past.

HAHAHA.....the only thing I will say is you are obviously an idiot. Refer to general orders and the CBA (thats means collective bargaining agreement) for the less intelligent...like yourself.
