Well the truce with the employer is over, they have seen fit to fire the first shot, in what I am sure will be a hard fight.
For those that don't know the employer has decided to role back our wages by .05 cents per hour. So lets put this into context, it works out to about 78.00 per year, multiply that by 250 officers at 40 hours, it works out to some were in the area of $20000. If we let them take it once, they will take it again. Also as I said to many of you yesterday be ready for the games that they play.
Also don't be fooled by this, it was no mistake, they don't really want the money, it is an effort to cause panic and distress and to make us loose focus on the task at hand, and that is, to get the deal done. One more thing, keep yourselves out of trouble and do your jobs, discipline is what will be the next step in their planned and orchestrated escalation of panic and stress.
- One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.
- Sir Winston Churchill
British politician (1874 - 1965)

We agreed to to 25 cents and it is sad that the employer is still trying to divide the Union.
I say "UNITE AS ONE AND BARGAINING WHAT YOU DESERVE"
