Thanks for your post. I don't think anyone on this thread was trying to scare anyone though. I think we were just trying to educate some of the voters on the site. If some of these folks against the union effort are deputies...then they did'nt learn their lesson with the last two sheriffs.
The PBA has my vote to bargain!

Well my vote will cancel your vote out !!! I am against it 100 %... If it was allowed to come in under the new Sheriff that would be a whole differant ball game. However, even the PBA rep told us that they were trying to get this pushed through before the 1st. Why would they be doing that. I am certian that neither Mike, nor Danny are going to come in and fire folks. There are people I am sure are going to be demoted, and if that happens, then he is the Sheriff and has the right to pick his own people to stand under him. The people or should I say MOST of the people backing it are just scared, and maybe its because they have something to be scared for. I have backed Mike 100 % of this election, but never one time have I ever bad mouthed Danny. If he is to win I would gladly work under him. I know how I work and I know that I am good at my job. I dont think that either of these guys are shady. Even Danny stated in an interview he would hope that the PBA would allow this to be written up under the new Sheriff and that they would work with that person, since they would be taking over in 2009. Thats my two cents.Becareful Irish Eyes, Please don't mis-quote me, besides you will be a Captain anyway, you will not be included in the bargaining unit, but setting that aside isn't it too soon, to be putting Mike in this position, the election isn't over yet, there is still one week before the votes will be counted, then you will be either celebrating or calling me see what we can do to speed up the process of getting a union in.
I was under the impresstion they are voting.
Isn"t that what the cards are about? And what happens if someone doesn" want to be in it or can not afford to be? How can there be any bargining to be done? What is basicly held over the commissors head to get better pay? After all they are the ones that decide that. I know there is more to it than pay. I just have heard about strikes to get what you want and they can not strike. Just been hearing a whole different story as to what the PBA is that whats been on here. I also heard that there is no way to get this done before Jan and besides that the current sheriff's hands are tied on what he can do for the furtue and I woud think this would fall under that.

Also Irish Eyes, are you willing to gamble everyones future on the hope that either will come in and not fire anyone. Will either candidate put that in writing, I don't think so.... This is one of the bonuses of a NEW SHERIFF WITHOUT A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING CONTRACT!!! I know I will not change your mind, but again why would anyone NOT secure their future by NOT voting in the union. Your argument is not convincing. VOTE PBA!!!! SECURE YOUR FUTURE!!! DON'T GAMBLE WITH YOUR LIVELY HOOD!!! REMEMBER, NO ONE WILL KNOW HOW YOU VOTED!!!

Be careful? That almost comes across pompus....My question is how much do you stand to make on this little unionzation of the sheriffs office, since your so gung-ho to push it through before the new sheriff takes office one can only think it must be a pretty penny. What are you affraid of? Maybe if the new guy comes in and is given a chance he will make the department happy as a whole and you wont get paid....Oh my, talk about a kick in the shorts, or should I say the wallet.
If you do not want to be a member it will not cost you any money. This is some of the false information that is being put out. You can not strike and it will depend on how long it takes to come up with a contract. It is possible to have a contract in place before the first of the year. Some people are forgetting R J is the Sheriff until January, He is not a Lame Duck Sheriff. VOTE PBA!!!
Again you are willing to gamble with everyone's future on this hope and prayer that the new guy will retain you. Oh, I forgot you met with him and he told you that he was keeping you. Get it in writing!!! How about your fellow employees? Still not a convincing arguement, Call it pompus if you want!! VOTE PBA
All we make off of it is the membership dues that is all!!! Don't buy into the False Information that is being put out!!!
