Since the executive board created and allowed this travesty to occurr then it is time at looking at the options to salvage what is left. Maybe it is time to affiliate with another state/national labor union or perhaps it is time to call for a decertification vote and start all over. The first sounds more appealling and requires less work, I hear from fellow cops from Rio Rancho that they are very happy with their affiliation with the New Mexico Coalition of Public Safety Officers. I have also spoken to the president of that organization and he would provide what ever assistance is needed. He recommended that perhaps an outside Executive Director be hired. I think all options need to be placed on the table since current abilities have been marginalized by this contractual rift. It is also time for the AG's Office to come in and make sure things are on the up and up and put all the allegations to rest one way or another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-1636141269785208122008-04-08T20:54:00.000-06:002008-04-08T20:54:00.000-06:00To the board, as long as you answer the phone in t...To the board, as long as you answer the phone in the middle of the night for all shifts, show up to 400 IA interviews a year, handle the discipline for those interviews,get people thier jobs back, protect them from management, buy food for shootings and crime scenes, meetings, grease politicians who give us money for raises, meet with the judges who get us what we need in divorces and lawsuits, provide money to get promoted and for training, provide an office for us to handle business all the time and food if were hungry, protect us at the bid, get rid of a vindictive IRO, go to the poc meetings, handle weekend and evening questions on the phone, protect a whining sniveling minority who are trying to screw the majority, and listen to whining and complaining every day....oh and meet with the 5th floor(biggest hassle)...please...try and spend more money to keep this up..we the grateful thank you for having all of these things..Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-57251156331800203472008-04-08T18:46:00.000-06:002008-04-08T18:46:00.000-06:00Yeah, I agree with the poster ref: the "non-issue"...Yeah, I agree with the poster ref: the "non-issue" I had to go for a training session out of townfor steward training and they covered the hotel expense, but I did have to use vacation days for the days I was out for training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-43120289973370271992008-04-08T17:51:00.000-06:002008-04-08T17:51:00.000-06:00As said on another post:"Let me see.No contract av...As said on another post:<BR/><BR/>"Let me see.<BR/>No contract available for review by the members before the vote.<BR/>Non union members and recruits allowed to vote for the contract.<BR/>Voting has to be done within 48 hours.<BR/>Gee, sounds fair to me.<BR/>You guys got a union president or a shepherd in charge"<BR/><BR/>Yeah it was a legitimate vote....sure it was, really, just like Ron & co. use membership funds legitimately.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-4645893666370186712008-04-08T17:01:00.000-06:002008-04-08T17:01:00.000-06:00I did notice that nadine didn't give a shit about ...I did notice that nadine didn't give a shit about what was going on in the meeting.

Sweet Jesus, union officials get to use that money to take people out on Union business and to take trips for training etc. It really does work that way in the real world too.

It is one of the great precepts of our democracy. There is nothing bad or wrong with it. Such actions keep corruption in check, and boy could we use that here in NM. For your information, it's the way all those other states out there (you know - the ones with a hell of a lot less corruption) do it. Get on board, and stop dissing those who are pushing for change. In this case, change is vital to our protection as citizens of Albuquerque. If you're going to blog here, at least pretend that you understand how this kind of change works!
