The men and women of FOP Lodge 7 had an outstanding show of unity today. I know for a fact that plenty of sergeants were on hand despite the decision of the CPSA board.
Early on my greatest fear was that turnout would be low and that the city and the superintendent would view this as their victory. I based this fear on my past experiences as an active member of Lodge 7. There were many events that membership was encouraged to attend but the end results were little to be desired. Today was a different day and many factors influenced its success, the arrogance of the mayor, a vote of no confidence in our superintendent, the logistics of the FOP and the advocacy of Secondcitycop. Also Chuck Goudie pissed off a lot of people with his "coincidence in timing" hit piece. All the mentioned factors created the perfect storm. Will this get the city to move forward on contract negotiations? I couldn't say but you would have to hope that a handful of aldermen whose constituents made up that crowd was paying attention.

SCS - OFF TOPIC: VEBA ! ! !
From the LT's Union website:
The city is trying to push a "VEBA health care plan" on all captains, sergeants and lieutenants:
"VEBA VOTED DOWN
This morning the VEBA ratifications ballots were counted. 240 ballots for ratification were sent out to our member Lieutenants. 179 eligible Lieutenants ballots were returned and counted. The totals are 39 votes to ratify the VEBA Plan and 140 votes not to ratify the VEBA Plan. The Plan is not ratified."
ALL SERGEANTS!!!!!!
Please DO NOT VOTE for this plan!!!!
. . . The lieutenants were smart enough to realize that the city was going to make money under the table by establishing this plan.
Daley and his scumbags get a "cut" on EVERYTHING.
I pray for the day he goes to the penitentiary.
Good for the Sgt's who showed. I think you come off as giving a backhanded compliment in your synopsis because you are trying to explain your fears of a low turnout. It's a new day, forget the past. Keep up the good work. And Sgt.keating is currently the biggest ahole on the job, a complete disgrace.
I did not intend on the comment to be a backhanded compliment. It was a fear that I had based on past experiences. I was delighted that those fears were not realized.

I dressed to keep warm. After my third trip around city hall, I was glad that I dressed the way I did. Plus like most cops that are parents I would rather spend my uncola pay on my kids and my depreciating house rather than clothes.

Because we can't afford decent clothes, stupid.
