Contract Negotiations

We find it amusing (again) that the FOP and Fire Departments stand by their contentions that they won't negotiate in the press due to a "gentlemen's agreement" with the City. We again say such an agreement has power only when the people you are negotiating with are actually gentlemen.

We're pretty sure the teachers made similar noises in the past, yet all we recall from the past weekend are the anti-teacher ads littering the airwaves of both radio and television. You only have to scratch the surface to find connections to Rahm's political contributors.

The Tribune and Sun Times have behaved in what can only be described as slanted coverage. And their editorial pages? Even Mope-rah was beyond ridiculous the other day - her spine looks like a pretzel.

Now we're seeing a steady drumbeat of anti-police and anti-firefighter stories popping up in the Sun Times. Anyone else get the impression that these avenues are being pushed by the "gentlemen" across the table from us? As long as they have their lapdogs and proxies flinging crap at their request, the city can pretend their hands are clean while we fight a two-front war. And sorry to say, it looks like we'll fight it poorly.

Why do you think that public opinion will influence our contracts? Are people going to take to the streets and demand the city pay more to fireman and policeman? No. Whats more important is sticking together. And only worrying about what the people that control our contracts say and do.

With all the City representatives whining about how it's for the children, and how we have to forge strong alliances between teachers, the community and the students, you just have to wonder whose 'best interests' are served by slamming the teachers in the press and media, over and over again, the past week.

Only Rahm's 'best interests'. No one else's.

They have the mainstream media, we have SCC. So if you have some dirt, throw it.

For my part, I am surprised at the number of time I see the words "critical shortage" in Department missives when referring to manpower needs. I thought we were 'properly' staffed?



OK. I tried the words "staffed" and "manned" in the last sentence. Both sound like we are getting "hosed". I guess we are.

"Astro Turf" is fake grass and in politics it is fake grass roots. Axelrod's consulting firm was famous for producing "Astro Turf" as a tactic to make people believe there was a grass root effort to support or attack a specific issue. Everyone should take note because Rahm used it against the teachers. Phoney citizen groups supposedly paid for those anti-union commercials, which were in fact financed by Rahm's Machine. Don't underestimate this man, he pushed NAFTA through for Clinton and would still be in D.C. were it not for Valerie Jarret.

With all of Rahm's arrogance and bullying of the teachers as a template I'd say the only way for the FOP to proceed is with the idea of heading to arbitration.

Anyone notice the crocodile tears and fake lump in throat by rahm, yesterday after the strike was over. A classic page out despot daleys news conference book. Boo hoo, im a parent of a degenerate, i didnt get the olympics...waaaahh! Good old rahm, dont let a good cry go to waste, looked like his buttocks was handed to him on a platter. Looks like POTUS maybe didnt like how lil rahm handled professionals and their livelihood and a fellow hyde park neighbor. Sit tight the this is for the children is waring thin...POTUS and the man, rush limbaugh said "didnt care if he were elmer fudd, are neck to in the polls. Would be a shame if all the kick backs to p pritzker, civic federation, chicago club members go for naught and the good citizens of chicago vote for the man in mom jeans. Obama sent ming the merciless here, because DC had had enough of his tactics. Northshore and hollywood money is great, hell romney, couple weeks ago, collected 4 million from the northshore "patriots. Guess they must realize "ink packet" rahm would activate himself, and someone would get dirty, namely, POTUS. G-d bless the taxpaying citizens, especially the cities first responders, the fight is on. You cant leave, your stuck with your underwater mortgages, underfunded pensions and the tax burden that will almost bring you and your family to its knees. All the while the TIF monies siphoned from your district are given to connected developers and billionaires. The city is crying poor, but it isnt. Rahm was sent here to shift the blame on YOU, not the madigans, cullertons, joyces, mells, jacksons, daleys, jones, thompsons etc. and their 40 + years of running this once great state for the "working class" to the ground. He was sent here for YOU the anchor and support, the reason this city hasnt turned into the next detroit, to break you down in the heart of a city , that was the birth of the labor movement. Stand together and please limit the disparaging of each other on this site and on other medía. Differences abounds, with clout etc., but the fiundamentals are the same. The clouted are few, but the real workers are plenty. The plenty must prevail and save whats left of this city so that our children can live a better life. My 5 & 7 yo nephews dont give a damn about these politicians and their ilk. They want to be police officers , teachers, firefighters. Everyday im reminded of their aspirations and that of their classmates. Innocense abounds. Its a shame the media allows for rahms phony theatrics, for that first responders must stick together, put differences aside. Back your union leadership, find aldemanic canidates that represent YOU, not the interest of carpetbaggers and the many "federations" that profess whats the best for YOU. VOTE, in every election, get involved in your precinct and local school councils. Thelivelihood of you and your family is at stake. Its time rahm and all the thieving politicians realize we put them in positions of power and we can very well take them out. G-d Bless SCC, CPD, CFD & CTU for showing the world how fighting for whats right , can bring a wanna be tough guy to tears.

If FOP goes to the press and says "we deserve a 10% raise" the press will quickly calculate the cost (which will be enormous) and add it to the looming budget deficits ($500M+ in 2014 alone) and report a very large number.

That could well turn the taxpayers against the whole stinkin' mess.

Teachers, police and fire all deserve a good and just salary and benefits. However, it has become pretty clear, for many reasons, that cities across the nation are going broke. The chicago teachers are patting themselves on theback for getting good raises. But, they will have to face reality very soon. Considering they pay only 2% into their pension fund and the city pays the rest of their share by an agreement that is running out, they can expect a 9% pay cut very soon to go for their share of pensions. Then, with school closings and charter schools they can also expect up to 20% layoffs. The school system will be one billion in the red next year with property taxes going to their max for the next four years. Police and fire also want raises at least equal to the teachers. Pension legislation will be coming up and huge pension payments will be coming due. None of this look good for the taxpayer, many of whom are the public employees. Dark days ahead for all.

What we need in Chicago is a straight working guy that shoots from the hip in office. Seriously, do we need a 55 million dollar park that honors Maggie Daley? And then cry broke? I understand that private donations are also being used but it still means public taxpayer monies are going to something where it shouldn't go. During the teachers strike I cancelled both subscriptions to the Tribune and the Sun Times because of the slanted coverage and those editorials that I think were written by Rahm himself. The mayor is now so arrogant that he is on those reform commercials telling the public about the teachers contract with his mug so smug. Unbelievable.

The bullshit you're seeing in the press about him living to fuck over union members is the press he wants, regardless of whether or not we get a fair contract. His sole intent is to prove to the world that he's a union fucker and a shitfuck who's in the pocket of big money to destroy the middle class in this country, starting with government employees.

It's no game, and as long as he can keep showing his intent to fuck union employees he'll be there to take the governor's chair away from another corrupt shithead.

In the coming days of lean budgets and a shrinking tax base, public employees will be very glad just to have a job and some benefits. Cities around the country are going to file for bankruptcy because they will not be able to afford pay and benefits for employees ( mainly teachers) that were negotiated and agreed to in past years for labor peace. If a city files for bankruptcy all bets are off and that includes pensions and healthcare to include layoffs for many. The Chicago teachers have not paid into their pension fund for 10 years by agreement with the city. That agreement ends next year which means they will have to pony up for 9 % of their salary by law and then fact layoffs. The Chicago Board stated that they have excess teacher and building capacity of 100,000 students. That means 20-25% layoffs. Bleak times for cities and public employees nationwide are coming.

Have we lost sight of the fact that our pensions were underfunded by the theiving past administration and at no time has this become an issue.

F.U. Sheilds and company for not bringing this pension issue to the forefront. You let this fucking city rape our Pensions with no repercussions and you think you are the great savior in this round of negotiations?

Anyone who gives a nod to Sheilds and his sidekick Toto Gorman deserves what this contract will treat us to.

I thought getting screwed gets easier and more fun the more you try it. Hide the gerbils boys and girls here's comes the city.

Rahm doesn't have a clue on how he's gonna find money to pay for the teachers contract. So how ya think the rest of the union contracts that are due are going to fair?

Tick-tock is right!

This nation, this state, this city is so far in debt that I don't think it's possible to grow our way out, cut spending our way out, or tax our way out.

So what do we do folks?

Because of some sort of economic model that says we must pay our debts do we just push it onto the next generation and the one after that to work in indentured servitude for their ENTIRE LIVES for the states and corporations?

OR

Do we file bankruptcy wipe the slate clean and start over blowing off all of our creditors?

Let's face it. Politicians made a whole lot of promises that they are unwilling or unable to keep. When the reality of that sets in there's gonna be a lot of people pissed...big time.

Why do you think that public opinion will influence our contracts? Are people going to take to the streets and demand the city pay more to fireman and policeman? No. Whats more important is sticking together. And only worrying about what the people that control our contracts say and do.

Well as much as many will hate to admit it, you had people taking to the streets fighting in CPD's corner just 12 short months ago.

We're all in this economic mess because of the banks.

The mayor made you lock them up under park ordinance violations and many said "we're just doing our jobs" in order to justify it and now you have the consequences of those actions to deal with.

Occupy Wall Street was originally for 99% of the people that are getting screwed by the banking frauds and the political kick back favors that have busted out this system on a global basis -- that's bringing capitalism to it's knees.

But the message that began "we are the 99% and so are you (CDP)" was hijacked to a "f--k the police" instead as the mayor drove a wedge between the public and the police. Yeah, the last thing they want if for the people to unite and bring these banking frauds to justice.

So what a surprise.

We need to file FOI requests and find out how much and where Richie's and Rahm's slush (TIF) is going. and force the city in court to meet their financial obligations (which are State Law mind you) first then use the rest for silly sissy bike lanes or bitch park.

OK by me to eliminate uniform and Duty Availability checks if they are simply rolled in to regular salary. Then no more misc. checks to get while aldermen and media ask what the hell are we getting those for and then they will all be pensionable.

Our response to a HBT time is slowed because I'm coming from one end of the city to the job. I know some of you think it's funny but what if you really need us and there is not enough on duty SWAT personnel. Several times I have blown lights or drive fast so I can respond to help our brothers and sisters in blue. I am sure we could find 50 squad cars between the districts and specialized units. Go ahead and make funny comments but it will be sad when one of us gets into an accident while driving to a job or we are caught in a traffic jam and we are not there to help the working police. Can't FOP help us? I would rather have a take home car then D-2 pay.

TribuneTV (Channel 9) has file footage of The Press Conference Table Full Of Scary Guns from the last gun turn-in.

They dragged it out to illustrate a completely different story just days ago; "Gun sales might maybe be going up nationwide," and they're showing you the business end of an alleged M60 machine gun that was allegedly turned in. I am starting to RECOGNIZE some of those guns, they've showed this so often.

They used the same film clips of downtown Teachers' Union pickets on at least two successive days; the shot of the guy riding his bike real slow past the front doors was the giveaway.

WBBM radio today is doing the regular now-you-see-it-now-you-don't on "race of offender." One story did not include the race of a man on rollerblades serially beating women on the lakefront bike paths, but another story described a robbery VICTIM as "mixed race" -- and ran a sound clip from her. "The stereotype is a Mexican guy or a black guy robbing you.

"But this guy was white!"

I guess that is news, huh?

First one all year?

(Oh -- the latter robbery offender is described as about 6'4" and 350 pounds, wearing a City of Chicago safety vest and City cap, carrying a clipboard, armed with a revolver. I'm not kidding, that's what they said. Grab Man Mountain, you got it licked.)

What would be the implications of anonymous posters letting the public know the good work that cops in Chicago do via SCC?
News affairs is obviously not doing it. City Hall appears most interested in painting the police in a bad light.
One example of good work in the 7th District: Officers responded to a call of shots fired/possible robbery. It appears that it was actually a drug deal gone bad. Officers recovered drugs and over 10K cash. One person was taken into custody. Nothing about this good work in the news.

There you have it: No names, exact amount of drugs/cash not divulged. Only the district and enough facts to get the media to ask proper questions and hopefully get a story that shows the police doing the good work that they do daily.

Welp, huh, golp, golly, whatcha say? Folksy enough to make ya puke, look here not there! Here not there! Here not there!

("Sock puppets" are the various interlocking, mutually-supporting personas created by one individual with nothing better to do posting and posting on a forum under a host of different names. etc. You could go on a fishing trip to Canada and when you came back, there would be 10,000 posts from the same fool. It's lonely down there in the basement.)

Second City please alert the membership about the upcoming Pension Board Elections in October 2012.

We can't have Mike Shields doing two jobs any more! It's readily apparent that he can't handle FOP and Pension Board with all his blunders. These positions are full-time positions that required a dedicated trustee.

BTW, Does Mike Shields collect two salaries from FOP and Pension Board?

Anyone but Mike Shields for Pension Board!!!!

Slamming Rham is fun but who will run against him? Who can? Someone else from DC who dupes Chicagoans as good? How about those hacks who keep him propped up? Start raising money now.

He will keep up the crocodile tears and tell us the workers are at fault, while he continues to do the bidding of Burke, Madigan, Mell, Cullerton, etc.

Fuck him...get ur side of the story out...I think the teachers side wasn't really told until the announced the strike....get ur side out any way u can, the teachers put him on the ropes...hope CPD and CFD put him down for the count...3 years won t go by fast enough.....some how one of his minions figured out a way to run a commercial saying he won the first teachers strike in 25 years that he caused...his ego is amazing...

Michael Moore can't make any blue shirt look bad. The police department as a whole is going bad because of the policy makers. FYI. Gold stars and the mayor. We can only put in a days work. If shit is going down hill as a whole its on them. I hope he exposes it all. ;)

SWAT here........we need take home cars

Why dont they report to nearest district and have beat car take to scene...and by end of incident our 9-12 passengar vans could take them back to districts --like a shuttle bus....or do they get milegae/gas reinmbursed and there is no "high speed" reason for them to get to scene from home while offduty


Now that is a great idea!!! Every SWAT guy lives near a district and they can just have a beat car run to the job.

Pension Board is UNPAID. That is right, unpaid position, as a PO, the rep would get their PO pay from the city. As FOP President he gets his pay from FOP and zero for Pension Board Rep.

We sleep safe in our beds because kind and politically correct persons of all genders, races, religions and sexual persuasions stand at the ready with their legitimacy and verbal judo training to talk the living shit out of anyone who would do harm to any hetero sexual, gay, lgbt, cross dressing or pedophile democrat or republican home invader out there.

Meanwhile, kids sleep in cast iron bathtubs in Englewood because grandma knows the police cannot keep AK-47 bullets from going through the motherfucking house and killing little Tyrone or Lashonda.

Bathtub by Kohler cast iron keeps more kids safe in the tub-beds than do any rough men.

SWAT here........we need take home cars. Can anyone help us? Our Lt and chain of command could care less and they don't even try to help us. All the SWAT Sgts have take home cars and they are useless. I am sick of showing up on jobs in my own car and having to leave my personal stuff while on an HBT job in a high crime area.. Even our SWAT Support Staff and WMD Staff need them so they can get the trucks and heavy weapons trucks to us. If some boss who cares for SWAT reads the blog please help us get take home cars. Our response to a HBT time is slowed because I'm coming from one end of the city to the job. I know some of you think it's funny but what if you really need us and there is not enough on duty SWAT personnel. Several times I have blown lights or drive fast so I can respond to help our brothers and sisters in blue. I am sure we could find 50 squad cars between the districts and specialized units. Go ahead and make funny comments but it will be sad when one of us gets into an accident while driving to a job or we are caught in a traffic jam and we are not there to help the working police. Can't FOP help us? I would rather have a take home car then D-2 pay. This way all our responding SWAT officers and War Room officers are safe, coppers on the street are protected and the citizens know we will be there for them. Now let the thrashing begin but just think of all the units that have take home cars and don't deserve them.

That's a good idea douche bag. Get a car that they should give you and trade D 3 pay for it. I guess all the tests they give at SWAT they don't test your IQ. Don't be stupid. You must be one of the new guys.

American Airlines Pilots are doing everything they can, "By the Book," which is resulting in flight cancellations and excessive delays.
Their spokemans states that American has been unfair to the pilots.

The CPD should follow their lead and do everything by the book, until the city admits there is a manpower shortage and brings the department up to its full strength.

OT.
Did anyone get to ride or see Producer Michael Moore doing a film here. It is about political curruption and how the CPD are not doing enough to get the murder rate down.
I heard he was in 014 front office Tuesday Morning. Bought lunch for the district folks and went to 013 to watch the picture taken there today.
It's about time he does another hit documentery. He is a real good dude.

Fuck that liberal peice of shit. How can a fat ass be so one-sided on issues? He's a nice guy because he bought you lunch?
