I have one quick question for SoWalProfire and FF2. Does your contract prohibit a work stoppage or strike by fire fighters and EMS personnel?
so they would need to protect themselves form Adkinson also?

So idlewind, rather that attempt to educate yourself, you will just rely on someone else. OK, I see where you are at. Your a trusting person, don't lose that and beware of wooden nickels.
Educate me then, if they are qualified, why do they need protection? I doubt there are 100+ qualified police floating around unemployed.
WCSO EMPLOYEES EYEING UNIONIZATION AMID CONTROVERY

The upcoming Walton County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) elections seems to have provided a push among some employees to move toward becoming union members in the Police Benevolent Association (PBA).

You are lucky I have a thick skin.
I am not a bigot, I am someone who has never had a positive experience with a union. My experience is they protect the bad, hamper improvement and endorse candidates I would not shake hands with and I get to pay for the privilege. If "public" ones are different than "private' then please accept my apology.
I'd like you to introduce you to my father then. He'll talk your arm off if given a chance but is otherwise harmless, even if he was a 30 year member of the allegedly evil NEA.
Spent all that time as a teacher in an inner city school district where the politics and bull flows freely from the central office. He loved his job for the first 25 of those years, but then new leadership came in and effectively took away any sort of ability individual schools had to discipline students.
What got him to finally take somewhat early retirement was getting attacked by a student. The principal of the school expelled the student and told the student that if they wanted to finish high school, he'd have to go to an alternative school. The school superintendent overruled the principal and ordered that the student who tried to hurt my Dad be allowed back in the school after a two week suspension.
Dad called his union rep, and the union rep not only got the lawyers involved so that the original expulsion would 'stick' but they also got my Dad to file criminal charges against the student after school district administration had put pressure on him not to file. If it hadn't been for the union, that thug would have been in a position to really hurt my father the next time he got mad.
FF2 and SoWalProfire, I note your "thanks" to beachmouse for the above post. Therefore, I know you have read my simple and very direct question that can be answered yes or no. Does your contract prohibit a work stoppage or strike by firefighters and EMS personnel? It is a simple question.
