Playing Catch-Up
This would be part of an actual emergency plan...if Chicago had one:
- As police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs continue to work on the front lines of the city’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, a downtown hotel is making its 274 rooms available to first responders worried about possibly taking the virus home to their families.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city is paying for the rooms at the Hotel Essex, at 800 S. Michigan Av., to give first responders a safe place to stay during the coronavirus outbreak.
“It’s often said that our first responders run towards danger, and that reality has never been more true in these unprecedented times. We need to continue to rally as a city to support all of our first responders, because we need them now more than ever,” Lightfoot said.
The hotel rooms will not be used for first responders who are sick, but rather to provide them a place to rest away from their families, if they are worried about possibly transmitting the virus to their loved ones.
Now how about a Contract? It's been almost three years now.

Room service included?
And in Detroit, New instant tests will be used for essential employees like first responders, bus drivers, and healthcare workers. “I want to be in a situation that if a police officer comes and says ‘I just arrested somebody. Took them to the Detroit Detention Center and I think he’s positive for COVID-19.’ I’d like to be able to get that officer tested,” says Mayor Duggan. At least it's something.
Now go sit 4 hours and submit a bunch of personal info about yourself to get a disposable mask!
Nobody (to be fair) has a REAL backup plan, because
that would involve too much brainpower and money to
keep updated. Doctors are being fired for exposing
deficiencies in PPE supplies, ect. It's terrible. One thing
people will remember: You're basically on your own.
To start with: Two Week supplies of toilet paper, paper
towels, baby wipes, Lysol spray, drinking water, canned
goods (food + fruit), batteries for flashlights & radios,
first aid supplies, personal medications, vitamins, plenty
of cash in 20s and lower to make exact change for delivery
people plus tips, ect. Oh, and a Bible would come in handy.
Is the Hotel Essex part of the same chain as Hotel Coral Essex?

Too bad these free rooms were not available when Eddie was the super. He'd still be around.

You need us.
Now pay us.
Better than the CTU.
FOP are you writing this stuff down?
Scared and desperate: 95% of people in U.S. are not
prepared for a 2 week disaster.
Spoon Fed
Stories that over 15,000 retired health care workers
signing up to VOLUNTEER in this maelstrom and put
their lives on the line. And you say Big Media is not
a PsyOps program???? Yeah, right. Busted MY ass
for 40 years so I'm coming back to die on the front lines.
Show me one. Just show me ONE retired doctor or nurse
coming out of retirement and working without PPE.
Why not retired CPD? See, that's where the bullshit is.
274 rooms divided by 13,000 CPD and 6,000 CFD what could go wrong with sleeping 80plus per room? Bet the rooms will be allocated by rank. Got to protect all the important people first. The peons not so much. Maybe the second rounds of PPE's will help. Wait, there was no second round of PPE's. But I just we were prepared for anything, let me get back to you on that. If her lips are moving lies are being told. The little moron has absolutely no clue.
Is parking included, if not it’s $73.00 per night per their website. May be they want you to use the cta.
CPD NEEDS A CONTRACT Retro Pay Now
Maybe the rooms should be used for members that are sick!
Seriously...The ones that could use privacy and medical attention!
My bet is the rooms are used for the top brass to protect their families!
Well done Lori!
"This would be part of an actual emergency plan...if Chicago had one:"
Yeah... With decades without such planning, why the fuck would we start now? Waste of precious brain power!
This entire situation is a perfect setup for the new (overdue) contract! "Those selfish poleece be looking for a payday after the already broke as a joke city spent more $$ to keep the public safe!" It'll be something like that.
Hanging out with hundreds of cpd\cfd,that will cheer me up.
The big question of the day....what is the plan? We have no real supplies , they are playing catch up with the training of any equipment being the n95 mask which we only get one mask for this whole situation. No word on replacements. Department gives us ppe equipment that was made by recruits. And no training and outdated hand sanitizer and makes us sign for it. Not one boss outlines what the plan is for April. We have no leadership, and for the most part Po’s are bringing their own supplies if they can find them. And they want us be the police? And to add to the problem the stay at home order. People don’t care. Wow you closed the lakefront and the parks.. but you have crowds of people at the store shopping not practicing the 6 ft distant rule. Out in Wes coast business only let 2 at time.
And then we have the medical. News reporting we have 800 pos on the medical. Those were Po’s with existing medical problems. And the virus Po’s are about 50. We know that this is going to go up and not get better. But yet their is no plan, nothing to fallback on. I know their are few Po’s who will do their job when called upon but not to give us any idea to what to do is a big problem. Why don’t the higher ups call up New York Pd or la to find out what’s working and what’s not working. CDC says that were going to be the next hot zone in the next few weeks. That should be an indicator that CPD should prepare but we don’t. And not to mention the tact teams and new Po’s wanting to lock people up and put everyone at risk to the virus because they want to be the police I would say that would work if we had the supplies and polices set up to protect the POs but we don’t. They put everyone at risk.
DONT worry LORI will want to not give any police officer raises after all the FREE rent money is gone!
Insurance will sky rocket
Manpower will decrease will slow hiring.
Anybody know about thet 2nd half SGT test? might as well just go off that 1st part.
But the merits walked out and didnt even start the test so that could never happen.
Giggity

Rumor of the day is former superintendent, Ed "Can't get right" Johnson, has reserved a suite to conduct further "interviews" with potential merit candidates, dress uniform optional...
Pure Socialist propaganda. Called the Hotel Essex yesterday afternoon. I mean wow...this sounded like a nice gesture and legitimate good idea by our leaders. And...ooops this is the first they heard of this. Let me repeat that so it sinks in boys and girls...as of 2pm on 30-MARCH-2020, two hours after the press release by Mayor Lightfoot and FOP President Graham, this multi-million dollar hotel chain stated that no deal with the city had been finalized. LMAO! Don't believe me? Call them yourself. They furloughed 75% of their hotel staff so even if they wanted to help it would take 72 hours at minimum to get up to speed and ask the few remaining paying guests to check out. As of 01-APR-2020 their hotel desks are just taking names and contact information. I didn't mention the best part. Who's names are already on the lists..."first responders"? Nope, you guessed it. Hospital administrators, doctors and city department bosses. This is some pants-on-the-head retarded Socialist BS. Chicago is becoming more like Cuba and Venezuela every day. I'm sorry Hotel Essex. Thank you for the kind consideration but walk away from this Mayor and FOP President immediately. You will never get paid for the rooms, food or parking spaces the city expects from you to give to them. Never.
Now go sit 4 hours and submit a bunch of personal info about yourself to get a disposable mask!
******************************************
Ridiculous. What a complete joke...and it's on the working police as usual. I swear the N95 mask-fitting and hood-test we completed was a Jackass skit or hidden camera show. "Put this hood on and raise your hand when you taste this." {Honk Honk} Clown-World.
Sorry to disappoint.
Lightfeet is gonna use this as an excuse not to pay us for a new contract because of all the debt they are incurring from this battle.
Additional information...The city will be reviewing disability cases in response to this. If an officer is deemed capable, they will be assigned to provide "room service" to the hotel occupants. Additional skills such as a history in hospitality will be utilized... masseuses will be in high demand for this detail.
"...a Bible would come in handy..."
I'm sure the Hotel Essex let the Gideons out one in every room.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
“It’s often said that our first responders run towards danger, and that reality has never been more true in these unprecedented times"
that being said, I will be offering my police dept a 1% raise over 4 yrs
1005 days to be exact
Let’s be real this is only an option because the city rented out the entire hotel for the sick and so far they only have a hand full of patients in there. They’re just trying to justify the bill....
But but but.....we have a plan.....
We are all in this together!
We are here to help you!
The dumbest, stupidest triple merit fucks at the top of the heap
haven’t got a clue......not fucking one......
And the community? Still out banging, selling, shooting.....
Where’s that big money Beck guy?
What were the plans that the emergency planner was paid to develop a few years ago? What was his name? If repeated three times you would win a prize.....
The lack of a contract that is 3 years late is not the fault of anyone other than the union members. It's a lack of unity and coordination. Groot knows the union members will not completely unite over any issue. If a union boss sat down, face to face with Groot and told her that word on the street is that the rank and file are done waiting for a contract. He heard that there is a "grass roots" (libs love that phrase) consensus that either the cops have a contract before July 1 or over 70% of the members will suddenly contract Covad-20. The Covad-20 virus causes sudden temporary paralysis lasting 24 to 48 hours depending upon the status of the patient's labor contract. If she thought for one minute that the threat was real, there would be a contract done.
Why should first responders be worried if they have all the PPE gear they need? Because obviously the don’t have what they need. Hotel rooms are no substitute to proper PPE and protection protocols!
Don’t worry, it’s not a JB Hyatt, they're not about to open their doors, not for a measly $175.
Hotels are hurting.
But what about more local inns, like EdgeBrook motel, the Diplomat and North Park Inn on Lincoln Ave, though Mannheim Rd motel row is booked with sect 8 transient leases, but availing rooms only downtown? Again, the hotel is providing rooms, used or not and will be getting paid for every day they are held aside regardless. Can I bring or order my own nurse?
Larri is leaving the campaign donor light on.

“Now how about a Contract? It's been almost three years now.“
– Y’all getting open mini-bar and macadamia nuts, where’the love doe?
How many rooms will be left after all the bosses side pieces are installed?
They have it backwards. It should be for sick officers who don't want to bring the virus home to their families. Sgts can do their precious medical checks at the Essex.
Seriously, if an officer contracts this supposedly super contagious lethal superbug, what sense does it make to expect an officer to go on the medical,and then have to stay home, thus exposing spouses and children? Officers should be allowed to recover elsewhere.
And don't forget to demand chloroquine and a z pack if you get this. Stay safe.
Are these rooms next to the parasite, disease infested piss-bums that they are also putting up at the hotels?
Is it true that mass transit tact office is infected with COVID19? They had it taped off the other day. Heard some tact p.o.’s tested positive.

CPD NEEDS A CONTRACT Retro Pay Now

I really hope that you dont believe that we are actually going to negotiate a contract right now.
Bless your heart.
Careful where you park.
The revenuers will be assigned to the area.
CONTRACT
This is like bringing a cup of water to a house fire. A nice gesture, but a gesture nonetheless.
Anyone get tested and get results for the testing site at Forest Preserve Dr. location?
Hotel Essex is all about re-imagining the urban experience. A daily urban fee of $15.00 (tax-exclusive), will be added to all reservations in addition to your current nightly rate.
Pay us now. 3% a year forever. The rate of inflation. lock it in and be done with it already. Rates are at zero. refinance all debt and pay us.
Hotel Essex is where Kim Foxx had her primary victory party. They're getting a lot of exposure lately and surely this comes at a good time for them when bookings across the city are down 60% plus. Someone likes Hotel Essex, it's like a mini stimulus grant directed right at them.
I told my wife I have to stay at the Essex. She not buying it.
Hotel Animal House
You know how many babies will be created at this hotel
Will the bar be open
Can my girlfriend visit me or my wife.
City paying for my red pick up truck parking expenses
So you stay at that dump and then bring home bed bugs......no thanks. There's a reason those rooms are $80 bones a night.
Contract, yea right. Now go tell the serfs to get in the house.
Speaking of no contract, riddle me this. Are the folks, and people on the
public teat already going to be receiving the gubment stimulus checks?
Why? Their income wasn’t lost during this crisis. Hmmm.
My son has severe asthma. I called and got on the hotel “list” yesterday fearing bringing this virus home to him (Ive been staying 10ft from him for over 2 weeks). Saw Becks latest email, so I called the hotel to see if my reservation was confirmed. Well you guessed it no. There is no longer a list, nor first come - first served. Hotel is now advising we have to go through our “Dept Head” who will complete the booking at their discretion. Who exactly is the “Dept Head” - Beck himself? Only for the connected?
City didn’t waste anytime rushing to the news outlets for their seconds of good press. The city and department are a joke. Not only are we disposable; our families are too! Be safe everyone.
"Alteon Health, backed by private-equity firms Frazier Healthcare Partners and New Mountain Capital, will cut salaries, time off and retirement benefits for providers, citing lost revenue. Several hospital operators announced similar cuts."
Anyone who thinks the City of Chicago won't go down a similar path with our benefits is smoking oregano.

Good idea. Did you pick your negotiating skills in Mr. Cotter's classroom?
Ok. Called hotel myself. Would be nice to have if we’re on 12 hour days. It takes a half hour to try and find parking by my apt after work now. You’re right. Staff at the Essex didn’t seem to know this was happening? Big scandal in the making. Who am I kidding? The press won’t investigate and FLOP is always days-weeks behind the curve. Now my name was thrown out. So our bosses have a safe spot downtown to sleep but we’re screwed as always. I hope 110 writes them all parkers
Shout out to the south and west side “communities” for pulling together during this crisis. NOT. Business as usual with shooting, jacking and robbing plus more domestics than ever. Glad you all realize the situation. No word from Faker, Jessie, and all the other poverty pimps. Warmer weather will only make it worse. Easy to shut down a lake front of mostly law abiding joggers. NO PLAN TO DEAL W/ THIS USUAL BULLSHIT IN THE COMING WEEKS.
That's great! Thank you to all involved!

CALL BECK for your Hotel Room TODAY!
Flood The Zone - - - Drive Him Back Home
The rank and file of the FOP are not likely to get a contract until
Chicago's one-term mayor is out of office.
The unions sleeps with the city - there is life after CPD.
If the hotel has 274 rooms, and we have 12,000 Police Officers, that works out to be approx. 44 persons per room. Don't drop the soap.
just heard they stop issuing the n95 mask. wth that is total bs the city isnt protecting the officers. the city did not have a plan for this disaster. they seem to be making up and googling the information. this department is not going to make it.
Lets tell fatass Govenor Fred Flintstones about having rooms available from his daddy's HYATT hotel.
