... they made the decision to remove their police chief from "the union" and guess who is charging to the rescue. You betcha - he climbed aboard his great white keyboard and is, as we speak, offering his legal, no his professional, no wait, his ... well, you decide
quoted from the assbag across the hall ::: It sounds like the people of Nanticoke could use a dose of free speeh by way of a public message board. We'd be happy to set one up for them so they could share information as they know it and prepare for what is coming down the pike. As a matter-in-fact, we'll set one up for the Nanticoke area and introduce it to them and attach a link to DD to show them how it's done :::
Put your ear to the dirt, my friend, because you'll hear the stampede of those poor people running in the other direction.

And not one mention of truth. Imagine that.
Joe Pilchesky has 9 fingers and eleven toes. Is that the truth? Who knows. Who really cares? But it's information as I know it, and I'm sharing it with you all.
I'll pose this question over there, but correct me if I'm wrong; isn't it wrong for management to be IN the union in the first place? If the chief was in the union, who was negotiating the contracts for the cops? Sounds like a conflict of interest to me.
I do believe if it is not wrong that it sure should be wrong ... and let me tell you why I feel this way ...
If the Chief of Police (who is an adminstrator), needs to discipline an officer ... well how do you do this ... fellow union brothers/sisters are not supposed to cause harm in any way to another union member ... so now how does the chief reprimand, write up, suspend ... how does this happen when they guy in charge is in the union ... and well sometimes the guy in charge is the one who is violating a contract ... so now if he's a union member and it may be something that needs to go to an grievance or even arbitration ... well how do you file ... unions don't generally file grievances on other union members ... at least not the union I'm in ... and who does the Union represent at the meeting ... the grievant or the Chief ... both are Union members right ... so how is this a fair process? It can't be.
I will have to look that up and find out how that would be handled because I'm very interested to find out the answer to this question.
I was at the City Data Forum and someone posted there that Scranton's Chief was the cause of a problem which led to an arbitration ... and because at that time the Scranton Chief was a union member ... when the arbitration award came down ... the chief was entitled to a share of the award even though it was he who had violated the contract ... now isn't that interesting ... I don't remember that ... but I'm sure it happend. Another thing to look up.
In my opinion it's just never a good idea.
But also I have to say that I'm glad they are doing that in Naticoke because the assbag will maybe focus on them for a while!

Nanticoke is still reeling from the collapse of Anthracite mining; Pilchesky showing up can't be a good thing for them.
Hey Art ... I don't think Pilchesky showing up could be good for anyone! I personally have nothing against Nanticoke but I would rather see him occupied with them and not have so much time to focus on Scranton ... but that is just my opinion!

Police Chief in the Union? Tell me if anyone remembers this little ditty...
...Police Chief is in the FOP ...Police Chief violates the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement ...FOP takes the city to court ...Court awards FOP members financial compensation resuting from contract violation ...Police Chief shares in the award resulting from his own actions
Only a tool like Pilchesky would think this kind of thing is okay.
