No Money for a Raise...
...but $36 million to move a company HQ downtown from the suburbs:
- The Daley administration is coughing up an additional $10 million to entice the parent of United Airlines to move its operations center downtown from the northwest suburbs, boosting the total subsidy to nearly $36 million.
A $10-million grant comes on top of a tax-increment financing (TIF) subsidy of roughly $25 million that city officials disclosed earlier this month when they announced UAL Corp.’s decision to move 2,500 jobs from Elk Grove Township to Willis Tower, 233 S. Wacker Drive.
“The overall package offered by the city was critical to our decision,” a United spokeswoman says.
The total subsidy amounts to nearly $14,400 per job, according to a report on the TIF deal by the city’s Department of Community Development.
$14,400 per 2,500 jobs for United Airlines.
$25,000 per 1,200 CPS students to predict when they'll be shot.
But for 10,000 cops who traditionally have gotten 3.5% annually (which works out to between $1,400 and $2,400 a year depending on step increments), Shortshanks pleads poor and broke. And that 3.5% doesn't even take into consideration the givebacks typically associated with our last few contracts. It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. How about you?

This Shitty is in distress. To show how bad the distress of this Shitty is I am suggesting ALL C.P.D. officers go to a uniform store and have their Shitty flags removed and sewn back on upside down.
.....oh.....hmmmm....better come up with another plan.
Thanks for staying on top of this stuff SCC.
I'm working 3 different jobs to try to support my family. It's just sick to think that after all we do we aren't worthy of a raise.
The worst economic downturn in decades and the worst unemployment rates in a long time and yet the cpd was able to reduce almost all crime this year. But that's not worthy enough for a raise.
We are just not that important. Forcing us to live here is his ultimate trump card. That is the one thing he will NEVER give up. Bec he has us here he can fire us and maybe hire us back at 1/2 pay. U think he won't just scrap the "union", HIS union? He can do whatever he wants. What are u gona do about it? You'll wake up one day w/o a job and a foreclosure pending. F U
Almost makes me wish I were a CPS student washing UAL airplanes after (NOT GOING TO) school.
"It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. How about you?"
It's a virus, been going around for about 20+ years now.
Take a good shit and you'll feel a little better.
4 years down, 16 to go...
SPeakn of Man Power!!!
Commander in 010 get a clue....
I am getting sick of working in a rap every night cause you put everyone 1 - 3 year wonder on 2nd watch. Come on already...you are a nice guy and all but WTF????
How can 2nd watch have 12 two man cars up and 3rd watch has 12 cars down??? Get a clue already!!!!!
I hate him.
I'd feel very warm & fuzzy reading that midget's obituary !
Drop Dead you POS !!!
If you are predicting that someone is going to be shot, odds are they have something in their past that makes them a target. How do the people involved pick these honor roll students? By IR#'s? Waste of money. Of course, Ed Burk has been hiding behind this excuse for years
and these dummies are all out there writing away generating revenue for the thieven mic---
MAKES YOU WANNA GO OUT THERE AND JEOPARDIZE YOUR CAREER....YOU FOOLS!
I/F
Boycott United. I refuse to fly them anyways. They have old, shitty, poorly maintained planes......
OT - system glitch or Daley ploy.
After signing up in the retirement system on line, if you want to change your retirement date you can't and neither can anyone from downtown.
What happens if after Oct 1, not enough have signed up for the 55 and out? How do you cancel it?
All the more reason to vote no. Daley is a liar.
Well it makes me feel like getting the torch fired-up and polish the pitchfork a bit...
Arbitration sounds like maybe the best shot at anything close to an even playing field with this midget.
This is only one example why I haven't generated revenue for the city in over 8 years. This is why I won't for the next 12-15 years either. 1st and 16th. The little troll with the Napoleon complex is a low class shanty Irish Piece of Feces!
Contract? Who cares about the contract? Just leave it as it is, any deal they give you will just short change you anyway. They'll give you a puny raise and then raise the cost of your insurance, lessen medical benefits, and of course raise your union dues. It's just a loss in the end.....
you still get your step increases (for those of you who just had your anniversary- check your pay stubs). We are all in the same boat but some of us don't get 3.5% for a step increase.

According to the memorandum, if the target number is not reached, you will be notified within three days of the deadline (1 Nov 09) and you will have 15 days to withdraw your retirement form.

Perhaps come up with some t-shirts. Upside down flag with chalkie overlay!!!! I'll buy some!!
If there is no money for a raise I don't think I can afford my city sticker any more or my water bill. Why not exempt all police officers and Fire Fighters from any city fees. You force us to live in the city then you raise every fee and taxes but our pay stays the same that raises our cost of living. Here is King Richards answer, Fuck you pay me.
Fuck you Mr. Mayor and you too burger queen. I will tell anyone who will listen. The Police Department is dangerously short on manpower and moral is at an all time low because of lack of leadership and no contract or cost of living raise. Tell all your family members to spread the word also, they can say whatever they want at a beat meeting.
Didn't Daley cough up millions for Boeing to move to Chicago and then didn't Boeing move a significant percentage of their offices to the Gary Airport?

Chicago Sun-Times
Daley: I didn't take police raise off table, they did
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter
Mayor Daley today engaged in a bit of revisionist history to explain away the event that triggered a massive demonstration by Chicago Police officers that turned ugly.
Chanting, “Daley sucks,” thousands of officers vented their anger about the mayor’s decision to withdraw his offer of a 16.1 percent pay raise over five years amid declining city revenue.
When the Chicago Sun-Times disclosed the dramatic turn in negotiations, a mayoral confidante argued that Chicago taxpayers could no longer afford the
offer after a quarter the advisor characterized as “the worst since the Great Depression.”
“The only responsible thing to do is to reconstruct [the deal] to accommodate the new fiscal reality,” the source said.
Daley agreed that, “We’re in a serious economic crisis. ...Taxpayers are feeling the pinch.”
Today, the mayor changed his story — by pointing fingers at the union.
“In all fairness, I did not take this off the table. They took it off the table. Let’s set the record straight so you understand that,” Daley said after launching the annual Spring Clean program at Harper High School, 6520 S. Wood.
“I did not take the 16 percent away. The 16 percent away was taken by the union. They said that was not enough. Take it off the table.”
---
Don't forget what this lying thieving prick has done, the next Mayoral Election will be in February 2011
When you are out there working Special Employment or you are at your second or third job and the tuition bill from that private school is coming due and you are a little short, again, DO NOT FORGET!
DO NOT FORGET who dragged this contract out well into our third year and no doubt it will be in it's fourth year by time it is settled, DO NOT FORGET, it was Richard M. Daley who did it.
No one else.
Don't forget, February 2011!

I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.
And you have to remember that it isn't 2,500 NEW jobs for the city. The people that work at their Elk Grove facilities will be keeping the job that they have. It's not like when Boeing moved they were all new jobs that didn't exsist here to begin with.
It's not "no money for a raise", it's "no money for people he doesn't give a shit about".
Wake up people. He only does things that will benefit him, his 50 thieves, and his whole thieving shit family. This move benefits him somehow, just follow the money.
Fuck Daley and this city. I can't wait to get out of here. I think I'll be sick tomorrow.
Guys shortshanks could care less about police & fire officers. Keep them movers & parkers comming in at checkoff. Daley need the money for UAL & 2016.
let's hope all us police, our families and friends remember this come election time.

You should request to speak to him. He's a reasonable man which makes him a veritable anomaly on the Department.
If he tells you,that you're full of shit, so be it. At least you'll have the satisfaction of voicing your complaints directly as opposed to being, A SACKLESS WHINY PUNK BITCH WHO AIRS HIS SOB STORY REGARDING MANPOWER IN THE 10DIST ON A BLOG!!

From the FOP Website / Update page 10 SEPTEMBER 2009:
Total 55-59 Retiree Applications Completed = 64
Number NEEDED by OCT 1st: 160
Keep telling friends and neighbors: TIFs.
That's where the real money is hidden. Over $1Billion as of now. Another 300-400 millionnext year.
That's how the little coward cries broke as he enriches all his buddies.
If we all scream it loudly enough, the public may listen.
What happens if after Oct 1, not enough have signed up for the 55 and out? How do you cancel it?
+++++
You can't. If not enough sign up, then it's "cancelled" (not the proper word, but that's all that I can come up with right now)
FLOP is paying attention. Trust me.
Off topic, I don't know how you can address this without it leading to copy cat crimes, but what is up with the vandalism to vehicles that happened in the 006 and 007 district lots the other night???????????????
Thanks again daley for screwing us... can not wait to go to work tomorrow and and give it my best for you, you joke

Um, I would predict a huge class action suit that the city won't win.
Let's hope by some chance the FOP is writing all of this down for when we go infront of an arbitrator. Come on Mark, please don't sell us out again.

FLSA UPDATE 09/10/09
On September 3, 2009, the FOP received a letter from MLAS Commander Donald O'Neill. In it, the Department announced that it would pay out all accumulated FLSA comp time hours and no longer allow FLSA comp time to accrue for any officer. This action will affect approximately 160 sworn officers that currently have FLSA comp time. Most officers have other compensatory time that is not controlled by the FLSA. In response to the Departments action, the Lodge attempted to stop the payout process in federal court. Judge Schenkier considered the matter and ruled that the issue did not violate the FLSA, but should be addressed by the grievance procedure and/or an unfair labor practice. Lodge #7 filed an unfair labor practice report today at the Illinois Labor Board claiming that the City refused to bargain before implementing the change. We also filed a class action grievance for all affected officers demanding that their FLSA comp time be restored and the Department be ordered to maintain a legally compliant scheme for using FLSA compensatory time. We will keep you posted with any new developments on the subject.
Someone please explain this??

The City is trying to do an end run around the entire lawsuit the FOP filed, and WON, regarding FLSA time and the denial of time due to officers.
The City lost and so far have refused the judge's orders to bargain a workable settlement in good faith. The city is now trying to impose it's own settlement by defining the federal FLSA work rules as they see fit and implementing whatever new work rules it wants. Typical.
This is the same City that wants you to go out there and be "warriors" and to put yourself out in this time of supposed fiscal crisis.
Simply it is Daley's minions doing whatever the fuck they want, federal laws be damned.
I swear, if that miserable despot Daley is ever indicted by the Fed, I will take my wife out dancing and buy her a new dress and new shoes to boot! I will declare Daley's indictment Day a Holy Day of Obligation in my house and order my entire family to accompany me to church to attend mass and I will give thanks for on that day I will know that God has truly heard my prayers.
Im one of those approximately 160 harmed sworn officers. Just goes to show you what the city will do when they lose something in court. Thats why I will be glad when the city loses the 2016 bid. The city will now have to pay me over $17,000 on 22 Sept. and by violating the contract pay me more $$$$. But the real losers are the tax payers.
THE REASON WE KEEP GETTING SCREWED IS BECAUSE THE F.O.P. IS TOO BUSY SUCKING DALEY'S DICK, WHILE WERE GETTING FUCKED IN THE ASS BY THE F.O.P. HAND'S !
WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN, IF THE F.O.P. DOESN'T GET THE WORD OUT IN THE MEDIA, THAN WE NEED TO GET ANOTHER SYSTEM IN PLACE TO GET WHAT WE NEED DONE! LET GET REAL THIS TIME, WE C A N - N O T DEPEND ON THIS UNION ANY MORE, THEY HAVE SOLD OUT!!!
AND I'M TIRED OF ALL THESE CRY-BABY POLICEMAN WHO BITCH AND MOAN, I NEVER SEE THEM AT MEETINGS OR RALLY'S OR TO ATTEMPT TO SHOW SOME KIND OF SUPPORT. IF YOU DON'T GO TO A F.O.P. MEETING, THAN -"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU CRYING BITCHES, TAKE WHAT U GET BUT DON'T TALK!
THE WORST THING IN THIS DEPARTMENT IS A CRYING BITCH COPPER!
IT'S UP TO ALL OF US TO DO SOMETHING, LET GET A WHOLE NEW BARGAINING UNIT IN PLACE NOW!!! DON'T WAIT, GET THE WORD OUT AND LET'S LOCK UP SOME BAD GUYS TOO.
