Ladner Gives Two Weeks Notice?
Rumor popping up.
Is our long nightmare finally over? Did the FOIA request for "merit" picks finally seal her fate? Or was it just time for her to get on her broom and fly away to ruin another government office?
Will we finally get a legit hiring list that doesn't penalize military people or the families of Officers?
Somebody better frisk her on the way out the door - she might be smuggling out all the "merit" lists no can seem to produce.

Yeah a bureau chief for the county
I see her going to be Chief of another department!
Maybe Gary?
One could only hope. To call her a miserable bitch is insulting to miserable bitches.
She's a hateful, power-mad bitch...
She would NOT voluntarily give up being in a position where she is free to inflict all kinds of grief and aggravation on Policemen...
Feds must be snuffing around and she was told to find another bridge to camp out under?
Her sponsor(s) and others must have a touch of the Hershey squirts...
At the fop mtg yesterday Battaglia was at podium and asked why is the political action committee endorsing candidates who are pushing to take and reduce our pensions and health care.a good question why?
Another rumor is that she's going to be a deputy at cc. Just a rumor.
YES YES YES If true its the best!!!!!! She is as dumb as they come
Crawl off and die, you scum bag whore. How dare you screw military and police families. Oh, I know. You're a socialist party member. That's how you can do it.
Who gives a crap? Nothing will change and everything will remain the same!
Not everyone in Mudville is overjoyed,
... or federal investigation...
Hopefully this doesnt screw over the people trying to finish up the process from the 2010 list. Rumor had it another class to begin beginning of April......
R they going finally make the Sgt class this week ?
Good riddance to bad rubbish. She was absolutely terrible for her position. A racist police hater .... and that's putting it mildly.

She is NOT A POLICE OFFICER!
She is a civilian HACK!
Fuck that racist....she sunk more than one career.
When you see someone like Ladner reach a position of power through clout, don't you want to get rid of that power structure?
Evidently not because in looking at the Cook County vote, Dart won comfortably.
Reading this blog for a long time, I would have thought Dart would have had more opposition to his re-election.
SCC and other (True News) laid out enough reason to not re-elect him. What happened?
It wasn't even a close race.
Evidently, more of you are sheeple than what you really want to admit.
In Chicago, talk is cheap.
Nothing is going to change until you vote these guys out.
Didn't get your sergeant's promotion? Think the deck is stacked against you even though your performance is exemplary?
Keep voting for the cloutacracy. Your promotion is as likely as seeing the Easter Bunny.
Not a LEO, JAFO.
Will anything change? Maybe yes and maybe no, but don't expect too much The personal director of the police department is just part of the city hall team and does not have independence. Ultimately everything comes from the mayors office
Make sure she cannot get a pension from our fund!
put all those merit people up on a list so we can see what they did to earn a promotion--- know a couple who were promoted who never even made it out of the station and couldn't find a bag of dope at a pink floyd concert....
A racist police hater .... and that's putting it mildly.
3/19/2014 03:04:00 AM
So much so, she could not hide it. It oozed from her pores. Bye-bye to a racist hater.
She gone & I'm STILL STANDING YEA,YEA,YEA...
(OT) what was done with new police test scores? My neighbors both Caucasian Americans took the test 1 got 87% he is 11180 on list, other took test got 93% he is 10891 on list. Talked to another kid he scored on test 62% went to cps he is 661 on test how does that work Ladner? This dept apparently on the death spiral it is on wants to hire dumb and dumber not the best qualified!
(OT) now the terrorists have there own magazine, be careful you never know, like the missing plane the governments cannot find, a huge plane but we are protected be vigilant.

Your best bet is to see when a class of recruits is graduating or getting off their probation. They appear to time the class with them graduating. Five or six weeks prior to them getting out is when a class should go in. I was in the last class and they held us an extra week so they could have one ceremony. Good luck, however McDrunk did say he was putting another class in about the same size as ours as soon as we graduate. Mind you it has been 6 weeks. I think whoever is under 25 on the list is safe, anybody over maybe not.
A deputy at CC? Deputy of what mops and brooms... hahaha get it brooms? Good riddance you nasty, non-qualified, miserable, witch!
Saw Rauner on WGN this morning and he said the bottom line is the only thing that counts no matter what. Said he is not anti union but that tax payers should not foot the bill for large pensions. I guess 50k per year is too large, watch out everyone he is coming for them and Rahm is smiling right about now.
good 'ole ladner !
Never sworn officer !
Came over from richie's corporation council !
Got a job outta the JAG Corps after military, never tried any CASES !
NOW BEST OF ALL " GOLD BRAID PENSION " and never had to fight with a resisting offender or spend a hour on midnights !
Oh yeah she's BABS WEST'S best bitch buddy or triple B's !
My wife took the 2010 test. She supposedly successfully finished the process in late 2012. She's not disqualified but got flagged for some reason that HR will not tell us why . We would like to hear what happened instead of being told its "in review". I think this "review" status is the new way they discriminate against applicants from military/police families. She was not disqualified but she wont be hired off the 2010 test. I hope the Wicked Witch is leaving.
Where is Lt. Richie Scotchbreath (008)when you need him? Richie could take her spot!

hey lacey i hope the door hiits in the ss
Today we can give Bill Dougherty his two week notice. Let's end the madness and send him off into the sunset with Tracy. Maybe the will kill beat each other senseless. Good riddance to both if you.
Probably a candidate for country club hills pd...or a co-conspirator ?

You got me. What was the response?
Does anyone have any idea how much she costs the city in lawsuits?
Its gotta be in the millions.
Ta Ta Bitch!
Wherever she goes I hope a house lands on her ass. This isn't Kansas!
She has called in several staff in the office and told people privately.
My son is part of the lawsuit in which Ladner says they failed either the Pschy test or Lie Box.
She is a cold calculated racist bitch who was a Daley appointee and because of her color was allowed free reign to do what she wanted. If you will all notice is that when they took a sworn commander out of the spot and civilianized it , the problems started.
Off Topic : Now we have to vote on which guy as Governor to diminish our Pensions?
Nah, Nah Nah Nah. Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hey, Hey, Hey, Goodbye!
The door? The door?
Don't let it hit U in the ASS on the way out!
We need to rescind that last hiring list as high scoring applicants are at the bottom of the so called lottery list . Fifteen weeks to assemble the applicant list when the test was scantron is suspicious at best . Applicants who chose not to proceed with power test from 2010 are now being called up and are requested to come in and move forward in the hiring process. Yes you heard that right , applicants refuse to show up are now being handed a job. Nice job ladner , on to bigger n better places. .
R they going finally make the Sgt class this week ?
3/19/2014 02:48:00 AM
Definitely!
I heard this week, last week, next week, next month, next year, list is up, list is down, 'merit' interviews done, not done, class of 30, 40, 50, maybe 75, only 20% 'merit' this class, but maybe 25%, pissed at the quality of 'merit' being sent for interviews...
Rinse and repeat ad nauseam...

Highlight the link and read it. Dougherty said the putting people into Obamacare was a lie, he is directly quoted by the reporter in this article
" “I understand the city needs to save money and Obamacare may turn out to be a good option,” Dougherty said.
Also, Bill needs messaging discipline with his guys. Which is it? That you all told Shields to send the letter and he refused or you didnt find out until it was too late.
Its like the evolution of an alibi as a suspect get caught in yet another lie.
OT: To ALL FOP members who are planning on retiring someday.
Dear Fellow Retirees,
Retirees cannot afford to be complacent about this FOP election. Too much rides on the outcome – the future of our health care benefits, the benefits provided to our spouses, and especially our pension fund that we worked so hard to secure. Traditionally, our voice has been a strong one that has had influence over how the FOP operates, with huge numbers of retirees voting for candidates that protect their interests and those of the working police.
Unfortunately, this past election for FOP offices has been mired in drama and the number of ballots mailed in by retirees has been alarmingly low. As your FOP Retiree Committee Chairman, this is what I know: Dean Angelo is the better pick over Bill Dougherty and the Citywide Team. My feelings are shared by most of the working police officers I have talked with in the past weeks.
There is a laundry list of reasons for me to be outspoken about this election and deciding to endorse a candidate and his team. The strongest reasons lie behind Dougherty’s long track-record of not looking out for interests of both retirees and the working police, and the drama he enjoys stirring up instead of focusing on the job that needs to be done – keeping his eyes on what’s best for ALL members.
As a retiree, I’m not concerned about gossip. My concern is about my pension and health care as a retiree. Unfortunately, the Citywide Team has spent an exhausting amount of energy during this campaign attacking Dean Angelo on non-issues and finger-pointing instead of telling me what they can and will do for us.
Dougherty’s public opinion on health care is downright scary for retirees. In a February 6, 2014, Sun-Times article, Bill Dougherty stated, “I understand the City needs to save money and ObamaCare may turn out to be a good option.” It sounds to me like this new fan of ObamaCare has already struck a deal with Emanuel at the expense of the retirees.
In another underhanded move, Dougherty’s crony, Steve Robbins, attempted to reduce the number of retirees allowed on the Board of Directors. Thankfully, this attack on retirees was voted down by active and alert members. This sneaky attempt to change the election by-laws of the FOP would have seriously undermined our voice in the union that is legally bound to represent our best interests. What was his purpose for doing this? It seems to me that this is another example of his need to change the rules when he feels threatened by opposition.
On the other hand, a few weeks ago at North Side retirees’ luncheon, Dean Angelo was the only candidate that promised to follow through on the class action lawsuit continuing the Korshak litigation (Underwood et. al. vs the City). Dougherty would not address this issue.
It was on Dougherty’s watch that the retroactive letter was not sent. Dougherty was well-aware of the deadline to submit the letter, and admitted to never telling Mike Shields. In the September 2013 General FOP Meeting and the September Board Meeting, Dougherty admitted on the record that as vice-president of the FOP and a returning elected board member, he was well- aware of the deadline to submit the letter, but never told Shields, who actively campaigned against him in the 2011 FOP election.
It appears that not telling Shields was strategic, and part of some personal vendetta rather than about doing what’s needed for members. It is a telling tale that even former Citywide Team candidates Greg Bella and Tom McDonough have switched their allegiance to Angelo.
21 of the 26 candidates that ran under the Angelo, Clean Slate and Pension Watch Dog Teams WERE ELECTED. Only 5 of Dougherty's City Wide Team were elected. THAT TELLS YOU THAT THE MEMBERSHIP WANTS CHANGE!!!
Retirees need to vote out the Bill Dougherty and the rest of the Citywide Team once and for all. Please vote this election and help me and other Angelo supporters get the FOP back to running business and working for our membership.
Warm Personal Regards, Paul Vitaioli

You are wrong. She had her hand in the screwing over of many fine officers and would be recruits. All of a certain skin color lacking melanin. Somehow, the CHIEFS were afraid of her. That is the bigger mystery. How does a civilian "Director", equal rank to Commander, tell a Chief "no" to something like a the transfer of a PO? Mind boggling.
She had WAY too much power over this Department that many of you don't even realize. Every award, every IOD authorization, every assignment and more.
The worst part about her was her demeanor. If you were in a room with her, you simply did not exist. For all the rumors of Weis ignoring PO's, I ran in to him frequently and he almost always gave a nod to others in the elevator. This woman treated EVERYONE like they did not exist, and certainly did not matter.
She will not be missed. People under her that tried to transfer somewhere else? She'd hold on to them for years and not let them move, then move them out to a District opposite of where they lived. No sympathy from the troops who loved seeing a "house mouse" dumped so hard. What the troops never seemed to care about was the extremely shitty and obviously revenge driven reason behind all of that.
Just a horrible person. The truly miserable are slowly weeding themselves out the last 12 months.
Can we please get a sworn member in the position. Someone who actually cares about the rank and file.
Her ass should still be locked up for Civil Rights Violations!
If this was a Police Officer doing the actions she has done, you best believe the Officer would be locked up under Federal charges!
Why NOT her?!

Amen. She fucked with me when I retired 5 years ago. It's not as simple as throwing your star in the card board box and telling the shitty good bye.That's all in the movies,and not what I tried to do.I followed all the orders.
They got you by the nuts up to the second you pull the pin.
The bullshit that they can wreak on you on your last day is for real.
Been There & Good Luck to those who are ready to go soon.
Hopefully she does a Robert Sorich
You boys and girls start a lot of rumors. The truth is she will be heading the new Public Transportation Police Department. It has just received Federal funding and will be taking hold by mid 2015. It will be like the old CHA police. Take it to the bank.
I was psyched out in 2010. I scored an 84 on this (2013) test and got a number in the lower 500s. Catholic school graduate. It is a random lottery. I'm surprised 62 is passing I thought is was 70. They might as well let everyone pass...CPS preference is ridiculous.
Make sure they change the locks bc you never know

All well and good for you Paul, but try and remember one single thing can you? You're retired. You're not active anymore. The FOP represents ACTIVE members in contract negotiations. There are no contract negotiations for retired members, your contract days are over. The law protects you now not the FOP.
Nothing the FOP can do can impact those of us that are already retired, nothing. The FOP has no authority to bargain for benefits to which you are already entitled, none. Emanuel found this out when he tried to bargain a change into retirees benefits with that scumbag Ade. Not only did the membership vote it down, the legal challenge would have destroyed that part of the bargain.
Once again, the FOP has no authority to bargain on behalf of retirees, and it never SHOULD have that authority. You should be happier than a pig in shit that the law and the constitution protect what you currently receive, because only a fucking fool would want a constantly changing political hack bargaining every few years for their future.
If I were you, I'd shut the hell up about trying to advocate to have the FOP represent me in retirement, I prefer to use supreme court decisions and case law to protect my rights rather than either Dougherty or Angelo.
In some sense, there should be NO retirees sitting on an active member board, and they CERTAINLY should have zero input on matters that affect only ACTIVE members.
Our FOP should NOT be allowed to be a place where Emanuel can divide and conquer it because he's got active versus retired members constantly trying to screw the other over for their own benefit.
FOP should be required to fight ANY legislation that impairs or diminishes our benefits.
On the other hand, the only input the FOP should have is downstate to lobby for pension ENHANCEMENTS for ACTIVE members, seeing as how current retirees don't benefit from future enhancements.
But that's never gonna happen again in this life is it? So you don't have to worry about a representative downstate looking out for you, because ALL those traitorous motherfuckers in the legislature are trying to fuck us over in pensions, not a ONE of them is there to look out for you or I no matter how much we lobby them.
Springfield is DONE sweetening benefits..... so don't bother trying or asking. Nor is it worth the waste of time to call or bother your legislators because they ALL ignore what you want and do what's in THEIR best interest, which is trying to shit on current and future retirees.
The LAW is the only protector we have now, and it's only going to be the courts that enforce the laws that the legislature refuses to uphold.
So calm down.... and keep your nose out of the business of active members, you aren't one anymore and we don't need to be competing for time in the limelight with people who are protected by the law while we try to hammer out contracts that encompass only the conditions for active members.
It's OUR dues money that will pay for litigation against the city if the time ever comes that they try and cut benefits, not the minimal dues retirees pay. It's active members that will force the FOP to fight the city, because it's their obligation to do so.
I guess that means the Obozo lackey is in charge now. At least she's not a hater, yet.
NOW BEST OF ALL " GOLD BRAID PENSION " and never had to fight with a resisting offender or spend a hour on midnights !
Wrong. You have to be an employee at least twenty years. She doesn't come close. She also doesn't pay into our pension fund. She pays the MEABF and will get her contribution back plus 1 1/2 % simple interest.
Tracy Ladner = Desiree Rodgers = Valerie Jarrett
not very nice women at all...
Plus they think very little of people who have to roll out of bed and actually go to work.
Just like Flamin' Tutu and "He Who Shall Remain Unmentioned," bka - "Himself."
It seems that "Himself" is annoyed with Putin for using his military to quash internal dissent before "Himself" had a chance to put everything in place to do the same.
Meanwhile...
TRIVIA: U.S. Department of Homeland Security has enough ammunition on hand to "give" each American citizen 5 rounds...
Something to think about?
She is Buddies with the PSIT Commander. Maybe she can take him with her!!!!!!
A lot of BS on here. We all know what she is.
Can anyone confirm that she is leaving? Because thats really all that matters. Otherwise its just another rumor.
If she's leaving, that would be huge but please somebody confirm it.
Here's one for ya:
How does an applicant that scores a 96.2 on the last police entrance exam get a wait number of 12,700?
I understand that the city is taking veteran preferance and CPS preferance but only 14,000 took that test!

Your bias is showing through Viatoli and it reeks of Shields support because you're still pissed that Dougherty ousted Lil Mikey.
( OT) Look at administrative notice looks like many airport openings, but you need to send resumé for "management" placement! Ok now let the simple understand to work at the airports they pick the best and brightest not the clouted with a phone call? How many openings will there be total?

But what he didn't tell you is, was, and will be moving forward part of the Shields camp. He says that Bill likes to stir up trouble but he evidentially hasn't been following this blog at all. If he had been he would clearly have refrained from throwing that lob at Dougherty given the radically disproportionate amount of mud being slung by Team Angelo.
Thanks for your input Paul and your unwavering commitment to Shields. But there's a serious contingent of retirees out there who think you are dead wrong.
Just a horrible person. The truly miserable are slowly weeding themselves out the last 12 months.

I was one of those nobody's that was held hostage for about a year by her until she out clouted by another boss that stood up to her. The move wasn't even to a secret squirrel unit either.
I think it was because I was a non clouted white male.
Hey Vitaoli your brain must be turning to mush. Robbins ran with Shields and some kid named Angelo who was on the same ticket. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't we now paying for healthcare that used to be free until Angelo agreed to a buck a paycheck.
FOP Retiree Committee Chair my ass. You were appointed by none other than Mike Shields himself. Your opinion matters to me about as much as the dog shit on the sole of my shoe.
Dan Herbert took this woman down sjngle handedly when everyone else was afraid to touch her
All of you active members reading this need to wake up and realize that the retirees are trying to take over this union and Dean Angelo is their guy. Don't believe me? Take a look at the 3/19 1227pm post. This retiree is trying to make this about actives vs retired. He was a Shields guy from day one. He's completely full of shit. Cast your ballots for the most experienced candidate, Bill Dougherty. You actives need to vote and take control of your union.
Wow, Bill Dougherty was in Area North tonight. The lies he will tell to keep his spot are unbelievable. Is a car on days in 022 that bad Bill? Desperation is all I can figure, he lies saying Dean Angelo is going to retire and take Chiefs pay in addition to his pension. If that was true his name would be Donahue. Dean was here the other day and showed us in writing he will cut his pay to capts then minus his $50,000 in disability. Bill you and your fat friend disgust me. Go Angelo!!
Bill you let Geiger take you down this slanderous road. I hope you both choke on the dust. Why wouldn't you just tell us what you will do to fix this mess? You don't have game. Go to 018 and work with Shields on days. You deserve each other.
Warm Personal Regards, Paul Vitaioli
Dear Paul,
You and your body Shogren are a tool. You are Chairman of the retiree committee and hang out in Florida. Shogren sits on the board again collecting $600 per month while he sits in Florida and does nothing. You guys need to move out to pasture just like your buddy Shields.
I can't believe Aguilar is using an anonymous blog to bash Bella on some bullshit. What is Aguilar and Dougherty worried about? I heard Bella and Aguilar went to H.S. Together and Bella was partners with Frank Saenz Aguilars father in law. Bill you and Rich are plain ole disgusting. Anything to win.

You got me. What was the response?
Dougherty's response was the sound of crickets chirping. He thanked Battaglia but refused to answer the question. So he praises Obamacare, donates to Madigan, and attacks Angelo. He has not once said how he will better the Union.
Paul Vitiaioli says . . .
It appears that not telling Shields was strategic, and part of some personal vendetta rather than about doing what’s needed for members. It is a telling tale that even former Citywide Team candidates Greg Bella and Tom McDonough have switched their allegiance to Angelo.
But he's wrong. Either he's too out of touch or he's still got Shields in his ear like he did during Shields' election bid in 2011. Either way its a shame. Plenty other retirees disagree completely with his entire rant. Plenty other retirees know all the good that Bill has done for us. Bella didn't run with Citywide because they are the ones who found out about the Burge payout. McDonough isn't part of Citywide and judging by his comments on this blog one week to the next, he's only in this for himself. Vitiaioli can have his opinion, but he sure don't speak for all retirees.
"What is the theme song for the United States Navy?"
idk if id call it a theme song.. maybe a hymn. and i believe its "Anchors Away".
Is that the same Paul V. that campaigned for Shields in the last election? Do the opposite of whatever he says!
Talk about a moral killer. Why would a city do something like this other than provide a position to a political person. Aren't there thousands of people around the the country that are a political and top scholars in their field that would improve the system. Standby by for the next political appointee to further destroy our department.

Already sent my ballot back marked for Angelo. Dean may not be a Knight in shining armor but he sure beats the hell out of "Chicago Machine Bill".

________________________________
Let's get this out of the way. Korshak was NOT a "Decree." That implies a decision by a court of law, out of the hands of the parties. Korshak was a SETTLEMENT that was agreed to by BOTH parties, the City AND those Retirees. The settlement agreed to by both the city and the plaintiffs (retirees) saved those plaintiffs millions and also resulted in the agreement for the city to "get out of the healthcare business" by 2013.
These are the same retirees that get the 3% cola that the rest of us born after 1955 will never see.
Good deal for those plaintiffs (retirees) and the city, bad deal for everyone else. This is what worries me about too many retirees in charge.
So please don't call the Korshak settlement a "Decree." Call it what it was...a bunch of retirees agreeing to a cut in their premiums at the expense of every working city employee and agreeing that the city would stop coverage for retirees after 2013.
Now we are scrambling to attempt to keep some kind of healthcare benefit for retirees in the future and it's looking like an uphill battle.
But hey, their premiums were reduced, right guys?
Another political flunky says Adios as she steals the list and burns it on her way out.
I scored a 96 on this last exam. My "Lotto" number is 12,900+.

Shut up, Dan.
Chief of Staff Minitos(spelling?) is leaving to take a job in New York. Rumor is recently retired XO James Roussell will be taking his spot.
So he maxes out at 63, will receive his gold braid pension and then make $180 as a chief, nice gig
I hope your family apprecitaes all the $ you will be leaving them. How about retire and enjoy your golden years?
This is not a slam against Roussell , he has always been a class act but wtf! Stop giving your life to a job
Good riddance.
Signed,
A rough-and-tumble white cop with a basic education and strained interactions with minorities

She is a civilian. They do not get a pension from our fund.
Speaking of Korschak! Retirees received a refund check and mine never arrived? What's with that??? Who do other retired officers call about this? The FOP, yeah right???
Let's get this out of the way. Korshak was NOT a "Decree." That implies a decision by a court of law, out of the hands of the parties. Korshak was a SETTLEMENT that was agreed to by BOTH parties, the City AND those Retirees. The settlement agreed to by both the city and the plaintiffs (retirees) saved those plaintiffs millions and also resulted in the agreement for the city to "get out of the healthcare business" by 2013.
These are the same retirees that get the 3% cola that the rest of us born after 1955 will never see.
Good deal for those plaintiffs (retirees) and the city, bad deal for everyone else. This is what worries me about too many retirees in charge.
So please don't call the Korshak settlement a "Decree." Call it what it was...a bunch of retirees agreeing to a cut in their premiums at the expense of every working city employee and agreeing that the city would stop coverage for retirees after 2013.
Now we are scrambling to attempt to keep some kind of healthcare benefit for retirees in the future and it's looking like an uphill battle.
But hey, their premiums were reduced, right guys?

You should have been born earlier, what else can I say. And to better parents.
When I came on the COLA was way before my birth year. Only in the last legislative action did the year change to include me. That is how it went for many years. Every few years the FOP would push to have the COLA age moved up to include more. FOP tried many times to get the age thing off of there but then the economy tanked in 2007-08. FOP was told from Springfield no more pension enchancements that were not paid for somehow. That is when they started sounding the pension alarms.
The 1955 thing could be changed but it would mean another 1% or 2% goes to the pension fund out of the paychecks. Same with retiree insurance. Not a problem but it's another percent or two.

Work somewhere else. It's a blessing that you are so far down the list. Do you really want to work 30 years with the crop of people they are bringing on this job? 30 fucking years and then wait another 10 for a pension, maybe!
Want to be the police? Go to another city.

Let's see, Korshak was either that smart assed kid in Welcome Back Kotter, part of the sweathogs or something or he was that bald detective played by Telly Savalas. Who loves ya' baby?
The guys that one poster states received cuts in their premiums, in the Korshak settlement, forgot to mention that these same retires, we're promised free health care for life. This free health care for retires, and their wives, was guaranteed by Richard J Daley, in lieu of a raise one year. There was no agreement, to get out of the health care business in 2013 by the city. The city, started charging retires for their health insurance, in violation of the agreement with Mayor Daley, the first. How was this done at the expense of every other city employee? This had nothing to do with active city employees. This was the city screwing it's retires!

You don't call the FOP, you call the city. The FOP has nothing to do with the refund of the retirees health care premiums.
Every year the city sets a health care premiums for specific retiree groups, by marital status, year of retirement,medicare and non medicare. At the end of the year in each specific group of retirees, the city takes the total costs for that group and divides it by the number of retirees in that group, then issues the rebate or refund.
My brother is single and retired prior to me. His check was substantially lower than mine.
Oh well, life is not fair to the person with the high lotto number. Get used to it and stop crying. Unless you have clout you most likely would not go far on this job anyways. If you do somehow end up getting hired and take this job, you just learned a good lesson. It is not what you know, it is who you know from day one. You may be better off elsewhere, good luck.

In 1987 Harold Washington decided that the city did not have to pay for retirees health insurance. That is how and when the Korshak case started. Since then and approx every 10 years the retirees and the city reach an agreement that last for 10 years. The last agreement ended in 2013 so there is no settlement and Rahm says over the next 3 years the city is eliminating the subsidy to the retirees.
If you want the history from the beginning read this link. City just won the case, is presently being appealed by retirees. This explains it all
