Seriously, has he? I think the consensus among most was that the Firemen got the short end of the legal stick with the recent court award, now we have Pilchesky claiming that the FOP "won" after getting the same thing?
Posts: 4135 Date: Feb 2 7:53 PM, 2009 Doherty BIG LOSER in FOP Arbitration award. (cops award mirrors fireman) I don't have a copy of the award yet, but the panel of arbitrators have ruled in favor of the FOP on every issue from raises in pay to health care coverage. I'll post it when I get it, but if you've read the firemens' award, you've read the cops' award.

They're talking about two different awards. The latest cop awardcovers from 2008 to 2014. I believe it's in the neighborhood of a 45% pay increase over the length of the award.
I don't know any other details of the decision; I'm sure it must include changes in insurance co-pays, etc.
