Contract Settled!

Thank goodness. It's been.....what? We're writing a blog here!

::::whisper whisper::::

You have got to be shitting us??
  • For the past seven weeks, the musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra have been on strike over two issues above all: salary and pension.

    The musicians voted unanimously Saturday afternoon to ratify a contract settling those matters, following negotiations Friday with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association in Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office. The CSOA board, which manages the institution, was scheduled to vote on the new five-year contract agreement Saturday evening.

    Regarding salary, the contract calls for an increase of 2 percent during the first two years of the contract, 2.5 percent the third year, 3.25 percent the fourth year and 3.5 percent the fifth. The contact would be retroactive to September 2018.
On 30 June, Chicago Police Officers and Detectives will have been without a Contract for two years.

That same day, Sergeants, Lieutenants and Captains will have been without a Contract for three years.

And there's Rahm, helping "settle" a contract in mere days.

Maybe we need the Pipe and Drums to negotiate to get this asshole's attention?

Don’t rush for a contract . If the city takes away what they want to take away - you are better with the contract we have now even if it’s been two years . Should get retro so don’t worry

The current members of the Fop have never met with Rham . They have not gone to breakfast with him , sat in a skybox for the Hawks and White Sox like the previous administration . The contract had not been settled because the consent decree is trying to eliminate protections within our contract for our police officers . We as a Union must fight to keep them such as a sworn affidavit for someone initiating a complaint against an officer. It also takes two to settle a contract and one side will never do that . The new mayor has no interest in negotiating a contract with us also . It’s better to continue to negotiate and then go to arbitration than to give up and settle . Duty availability went bye bye in the last contract . Each new recruit loses twelve thousand because of the last contract saving the City tens of millions of dollars . Better to keep fighting then give in !

Remember that the public hates and reviles you while
embracing and "understanding" that the outrages
committed by the armed wing of "The Community,"
bka "Dude Inc." is entirely YOUR FAULT.

"If you Cops weren't so... Uhhh... We-ell... So-oohh...
WE would actually support YOU!

But you guys are so angry, bitter, so full of your blue
-collar/bungalow belt resentment, hateful, poisoned by
the stuff you see, resentful, so resistant to being
"reformed" and so full of your snarly, heavy-fisted,
1960's Warrior-Cop ethos that we just really don't
know how to deal with you.

If only you would be more public servant-like and actually
smile and be nice and friendly to us and those poor people
of color that you're always oppressing..."

Remember... The Police are what's wrong with Chicago.

That's why The Police have been shit on during contract
negotiations for the last 4 or 5 contracts.

That Rahm "weighed in" on the contract negotiations
at the CSO, is very telling as to where his priorities are.

Remember... He said he was going to "Stick it in The Cops Ear"
before he was even sworn in as mayor...

He had his mind made up that he was going to "Stick it in
The Cops Ear" even before the charter jet from D.C. landed
at O'Hare...

He was in contact with the Chicago money-bundlers even
before he said he was going to "Stick it in The Cops Easr."

He was given a copy of the municipal budget and without
any background or context said, "Why the fuck are those Cops
getting so much of the budget? how much money are they giving
back? Well fuck those guys then... It's not like they're gonna
vote for me anyway..."

Right Rahm?

And Rahm's slavish devotion to bean-counterism is why CPD
is in ruins and Chicago is being engulfed by the flames
fanned by "The Community," the SJWs, the ACLU, local media,
and the white-guilt permissive surrenderist knee-walking
"diversity or death," liberal democrat progressives.

The reasonable man hasn't got a prayer here...

Police Like You Have No Friends.

Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.

That's what Rahm is doing.

Is it not?

It is a shame that a major American city has no free press. There is no news outlet for the public as both major newspaper organizations are behind pay walls.

And too bad that SCC cites and links to articles that few can access.

What I saw of the article before the paywall popped up was that any non-liberal group of whites is racist.

Accordind the the dubious SPLC, an ongoing money scam with hundreds of millions of dollars hidden in offshore accounts.

>>>>> Regarding pension, ... “The association has agreed to use a benchmark that increases annually by 1 percent from the current pension benefit … so that if anyone’s direct contribution plan performs poorly, the association will make up the difference ...

Well there ya have it. The Nine-Digit-Midget has Noooo problem taking care of these people while leaving you guys and gals twisting in the f--kin' wind. This proves it, Tiny Dancer really does hate the Police.

God bless our POs and prayers you have an excellent contract, with all retro pay, and amzing benefits soon. This city pays for illegals, it should damn well pay dearly and freely for its INCREDIBLE POLICE. (Merit havks excluded they need to go)

As a 3rd generation Chicagoan, born, raised and returned - I concede that our crime, political situation looks pretty bad, terrible. I'm going with the idea that Chicago will once again have 3,000 + shootings and ~ 600 murders with our corrupt BlackLivesMatter State's Attorney's office, chief judge Evans (my old alderman who did an OK job then), Sheriff Tom Dart (give the criminal inmates pizza parties and let them maste**** in front of women correction officers) and 88% + of murders will go unsolved and teen wilding mobs will rob, loot and attack tourists and suburbanites on the Gold Coast and in Loop. The National media (CNN, MSNBC) will only report that all our problems are caused by RACISM and President Trump and MAGA Trump supports.

OK, that's bad.

But, it's not like we haven't gone through worse?

I was 7 years old during the Summer of 1968 - i completely recognized what was going down and the corrupt fake national news media's role in inciting riots, slandering our police and our entire city.

Here's a best ever analysis of the '68 Convention and Media lies by "Frank Sullivan, a spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department and a witness to the events that occurred in Chicago at the Democratic convention in the summer of 1968. His 1989 perspective about what he saw as “fake news” at that time or at least manipulative news has relevance for today. I did this interview as part of my 1990 television series on the 1960s."

Your stupid, amateurish, poorly written article in the sun times was only intended to add to the permanent victim class narrative that it’s all the cops fault. You and your leftist losers at the sun times refuse to write about the weekly hate crimes being committed against whites by feral predators in the loop. You refuse to write about BLM or the Black Youth Project who has repeatedly called for the assassination of cops. You refuse to report on Jamal greens continued attack on the police and now his spot as a decision maker in phony Lori’s administration. You like the rest of the lefties do not report but take dictation from Rahm’s , and now lori and kims multi million dollar taxpayer financed spin machine. You are truly an insult to journalism.

It’s really a shame that the city treats it’s first responders like garbage each and every time the contract expires. They talk out of both sides of their mouth. They say how much they appreciate the job we do but their actions are the opposite. June will be two years without a contract with no end in sight. At the same time they our responsibilities and financial risk doubled. On another note anyone else notice the mass exodus of PPOs to other departments? In my district alone 3 left since March. All with under 2 years. All leaving only because they don’t want to live in Chicago. Otherwise they’d stay. What a waste of money training these cops. Residency is a killer.

The average CSO salary in 2017/2018 was $187,500 and the average total compensation from all CSO work was $209,000. In my opinion, an obscene amount of money for the job performed. But then again, I don't frequent the CSO. My choice. Just like the obscene amount of money athletes make! If I don't like it, I don't pay. I haven't gone to a sporting event or bought a piece of merchandise in decades. Unfortunately, we the public are "forced" to pay, through our taxes, the ridiculous pensions, benefits and salaries of the public sector employees. No choice there.

Yeah, I’m impressed.
Next comes the Michigan Avenue Bucket Boys, Subway Tube Playas and any groups wanting to celebrate diversity, culture and tolerance with flotillas along the River Walk.

So watch out, RottenRahm still has plenty of knee jerk time to settle handsomely with CPS/CTU as a final last jab and twist to First Responders.
They don’t care much for Grootie MacLightLoafer for pummeling their candidate PrickWanker or expect her to be as generous as Rahm.

Furthest thing on Grootie MacLightLoafer’s mind is a fair and comprehensive police wage, benefits and policy package.
So maintain all those trust and bridge building proactive strategies and help save SpecialEd’s gold braid pension.

I'm quite sure that the CSO has professional accountants and administrators who know how to do a balance sheet and manage assets and liabilities. This was an easy pr stunt for tiny dancer to exploit. Now put on your tutu and do some pole dancing.

They settled because spring is the beginning of the symphony season and the city was going to lose a lot of money in taxes. Entertainment, hotel and sales taxes. Plus an article said it would affect restaurants, bars ,etc

Don’t rush for a contract . If the city takes away what they want to take away - you are better with the contract we have now even if it’s been two years . Should get retro so don’t worry


Agree with you. Lightfoot already said when questioned about the city budget that there was going to be a big expense of retro pay for the police

Looks like ShitTimes wants to make the police, their goals and ideas appear to be White Supremacy. I don’t see the purpose of this article other than to reinforce the police are bad narrative. Does anyone agree with me?

4/28/2019 03:31:00 AM


Agreed. That's exactly what it's doing. Anyone who criticizes Foxx must be a Nazi, because only Nazis would criticize her. Do you disagree with Foxx? You must be a Nazi.


How does one know if one is a Nazi? If you do not vote Democrat or Socialist, you are a Nazi. Still unsure? Check the websites of the SPLC and ironically named Anti Defamation League. If you have ever remotely agreed with any position of any of the thousands of groups they call "hate" groups, then you are a Nazi. And now they will place anyone who disagrees with Foxx, Soros, and restorative justice on their lists.

Let us retire with our 2% insurance deal before the sergeant's union fucks us ALL again when they settle their contract.

Last time I checked Sergeants don't have tiers in their medical plan. You all were fine with the tiers apparently. You fucked us all because now the city wants tiers for us.

They have more talent than us also. In case you haven't noticed, there's a lot of goofs and idiots that work on CPD, especially within the boss ranks. It's what this blog bitches about the most. Anybody can be a cop. Very few can make it to orchestra level.

REALLY!! You think any and all of these music players can handle a ghetto domestic? You think they can run after, catch and handcuff an armed offender? There are goofs that work everywhere, just look inside city hall. You sound like you were turned down on your application for police or you are a moron

Not anybody can be a cop, but many can pretend. Very few are true police officers.

And, if the CSO had to be 12,000 strong, they would have their problem children, too.

Rahm and the rest of the leftists are much more interested in the orchestra weirdos and their followers than the CPD. It’s rahms attempt to get the art jerks vote as he gets ready to run for senator. He will do anything to screw the police over. And he needs campaign cash from all the leftist art and theatre and Hollywood scum.

Rahm pushes through almost $2billion dollars for two private developements in Chicago and now comes to the rescue for the CSO but can’t give the police a lousy 3% a year and some insurance when we retire. We all know where we stand. Any bosses telling you to go out there and get numbers can go f themselves.

1070 was the 10th District bestest ever merit Sgt (ret). He was a legend for his talking on the radio all day and night trying to run everything in an attempt to get another merit bump to Lt. It didn’t happen, he retired and the District has run smoother and quieter than it had in over 10+ years. He was want a bad guy but he was the attention of all on Zone 10. And unknown officer had a recording of Mr. T’s voice and would play it whenever 1070 would talk and go into his rants. The favorite phrase was “shut up fool!” Played over and over in a reverb sound it was freakin Hilarious. 1070 did not have a sense of humor about it. Many a times did he turn red with veins throbbing in his four head challenging over the zone for the culprit to meet him in the parking lot. It was better that it never happened because he would probably have his third heart attack and never of been able to retire. If you care to hear more just ask me in the comments.

Hey kid,,,Just 30 years,,,I retired with more then that
You obviously missed the point of the whole narrative. The 1st person was stating that anyone (including the band members) can be the police. My point was to say he was wrong. Yes, I know crime will never go away (just like the democrats want)
