Today, both FOP President
Dean Angelo and Mayor Rahm Emanuel signed the new contract. This starts the 75-day countdown to receiving
the retro-check (01 Feb 2015). The Dec 1st
paycheck should reflect the new pay rates.
On 30 Sep 2014, the Retirement
Board sent a letter to Ms. Lois Scott, Chief Financial Officer of the City of
Chicago; Alderman Edward Burke, Chairman of Finance; and Ms. Susana A. Mendoza,
City Clerk of Chicago. The letter requested
$592,863,325 for the 2015 tax levy. This
meets the required notice to the City.
However, the City has until 2016’s property tax collection to disburse
the funds to the Benefit Fund. If the
City does not make the payment with the 2016 tax collection, the Fund will then
have to give notice to the State. Then
the State will send tax collections to the Fund that were going to go to the
City.
The federal government
has stopped funding for To-Spot. That
overtime will be cancelled. Please check
with Special Events if you were given work dates to see if they have been
canceled.
After reviewing the 2012
arbitration loss of the desk sergeant grievance, our lawyers have decided it is
not in our interest to continue this grievance.
The arbitrator found that desk officers were not supervising officers
while acting as desk sergeants.
If you have an IOD
slip-and-fall make sure that you note all defects in the area.
Make sure your contact
information is up to date with the Lodge.
The Lodge has a TRO against
the release of officer’s names and CR history from more than the past five
years as those records were to have been destroyed by contract. The Labor Board is reviewing the issue and
the courts will wait to review the Board’s decision.
