Also, yes the veterans do get to bid for better days off because they have all done the work long before you even dreamed of doing the job just to look cool. Remember what you all said in Chiefs, "I want to be a police officer to help people". Start by remembering that there is a lot that can be learned from the "old guys" around you. They are old because thet have survived to nasty that plagues the streets you vowed to protect. "Helping people" doesn't involve thinking that you are above anybody.

He should because I'm senior to him and that's how it was when I was hire.<BR/><BR/>General Public: Aren't there promotion possibilities for you?<BR/><BR/>Lazy Guy: Yeah, but if I get promoted then I become the junior guy for that level and I'll get crappy days off and have to supervise junior guys...it's to much responsibility and change in my schedule.<BR/><BR/>General Public: Won't you get a pay raise if you're promoted to the next level?<BR/><BR/>Lazy Guy: It pays more but I'm content with my current senior position, getting the choice of shifts and minimal responsibility plus getting paid more than the newer guys who are doing the majority of the work.

That better informed and more participants will vote down this one sided contract?<BR/><BR/>Also how can we demand fairness from the 5th and 11th floor, when our own union practices dirty voting tactics and one sided representation?<BR/><BR/>A 24 hour rush job to vote for a contract when you have officers fragmented all over the city is inadequate and not allowing officers to make an informed decision by providing the proposed changes was an injustice.<BR/><BR/>I was expecting for some of these rookie officers to band together with fellow senior officers and demand that all members get a fair process and all get equal pay, but instead we got "arrogance" by some greedy self serving officers.
