FOP General Meeting 21 Apr 15

The 10.5 hr day survey results are due next week Sunday from the Department.  The Lodge has been closely following the officer’s attitudes about working this schedule.  The Lodge President has stated that the 10.5 work schedule is not going to any other units.

Using your time off is still a problem in most districts.  The Lodge is meeting with the Department to get around 15% of members off, not including IOD’s, Furlos or other non-discretionary time.  To help we will need to standardize Watch Work Sheets across the Department.  Right now only about 7% of any given watch is allowed off.  At the next CompStat meeting the new time due standards will be announced 

The Lodge is meeting with officers that are using the body cameras to get their input on how well the cameras are working out.

There is now a new suspension grievance procedure.  The major change is that officers will not lose any time prior to having a hearing with an arbitrator.  This is for suspension of ten days or less.  Officers will meet with a Lodge attorney and be able to submit a three page To-From concerning the reasons why the punishment is not just. 

The Lodge is watching and waiting for the Illinois State Supreme Court’s decision on the state pension benefit reform law.  This will have an impact on our current and future pension benefits.  The Lodge reminds us that they are in this fight to the end.

The St Jude Memorial Parade will take place on Sunday May 3rd.  Step off is at 0800hrs. The IRP will be along E Solidarity Drive by Adler Planetarium.

The Lodge will hold its memorial on May 6th at 1200hrs at the Lodge Memorial Plaza.

Firearm Safety Days at the Hall are Wednesday, May 20th from 0800 to 1700hrs and Thursday, May 21st from 0800 to 1500hrs.  There will be on site safety inspections and cleaning of duty related weapons at no cost.  Representatives from Colt, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Springfield Arms, Sig Arms, DS Arms, Glock, Boston Leather, LMT will be there.

One officer complained about OEMC putting him on the scene of a call without informing him, more than once.  He claims, he was on lunch or busy doing something else and is concerned that others might have this done to them and could be held accountable for something when he was not present.  Please let the Lodge know if it happens to you.

FOP General Meeting 17 Mar 15

Due to problems in the past surveys, the Lodge is going to use the news letter form to decide whom to endorse or no endorsement.  If you want your voice heard send it in ASAP.  The PAC was unable to come up with a recommendation.  

There will be training on writing grievances on April 13th at 10am and April 16th at 5pm at the Lodge.  

On May 12 there will be an Arbitration Hearing for the FTO grievance for two PPO's at the same time.

We are being told that CPIC is watching your tweets and facebook posts.  Not a good idea to let the world (bosses) know your location and activity while working especially VRI locations.

The Lodge is in litigation with Mike Shields over violating the contract for his removal from office.  The Lodge has put Mike's lawyers on notice that the Lodge will seek reimbursement for our expenses.

The Lodge will hold our memorial on Tuesday, May 5th at about 11:00am.

The State will hold its memorial on Thursday, May 7th.

The Washington memorial will be on Friday, May 15th.

FOP Meeting 18 Nov 2014

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 1^st 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.

I voted NO!

“I have your back.”  Are not just words that I speak.  It’s a promise I’ve made to you, my brother and sisters.  Yes, even you who have not yet joined our family.  I will not break that promise.  That is why I have voted NO on this contract deal.  I will not vote to have those who are not on the job yet, have money taken out of their pockets.  I will tell them when I see them that you can trust me for I did not turn my back to you.  I stood up for you.

I did not not turn my back to those that have more time on the job than I.  I voted for seniority rights.  

These are just two reasons, there are more, but to me my word, my promise is worth more than any retro check I might get.  Please vote NO on this deal.

Sent to SSC

OT: Went down to Gun Registration the other day to register a new duty carbine (Sorry Court).  On the registration form there was a spot to put in my Social Security Number.  I left it blank and turned the form in.  The gun registration officer told me that without putting the number in, he could not accept my application.   I informed and showed him section 6.11 of the Contract with the City that states, "The Social Security Number of an officer covered by this Agreement shall not be disclosed and shall not be included on documents, except those essential for payroll or compensation purposes."   This has been in effect since 01 Jul 07.  I put in my number on the form and then returned to my district and put in a grievance.  I called FOP and informed them of my actions.  Yesterday I was informed by FOP that they had contacted the City and we will no longer be required to put our social security number on the gun registration form.  Fine, thank you FOP.  However there are thousands of old forms that have our social security numbers on them as well as computer files!  I requested that all old forms have our social security numbers redacted and computer files erased.  The collection of these numbers has gone on since 2007, seven years after we got it prohibited by contract!  If in your job you know that social security numbers are recorded for purposes other than allowed by contract, please let the Lodge know!
JANS, Kevin C. 024 Unit Rep

Lodge & Meeting 17 Dec 13

FOP Meeting 17 Dec 2013

by FTO Kevin C. Jans 19016 024 Dist Rep

Prior to the meeting President Shields accused Past President Mark Donahue, 1st Vice President Bill Dougherty,  Financial-Secretary Rich Aguilar and past 3rd Vice-President Greg Bella with entered into ‘pre-determined’ and ‘back-room deal’ arbitrations ,which included precise, agreed-to findings and language, with the City and Arbitrator Edwin Benn for our last two contracts.  President Shields stated that he got his information from Attorney Paul Geiger.  These charges were printed in the Sun Times newspaper.

At the start of the meeting President Mike Shields was served with a letter from the State Lodge by State Vice President Kevin Graham, CPD 019 Dist. He was ordered to leave the Lodge as his membership had been suspended and he could no longer act as President.  A call was made to CPD to have Officer Graham arrested.  CPD showed up and when informed of the situation they left without Officer Graham.  President Shields refused to leave the meeting.  Mike then spoke about the park district’s new contract which reduced benefits and increased costs for health care to retirees.  Because it was agreed on by their union, the City feels that the State Constitution’s protections won’t won’t come into play.  The Lodge believes that the provisions of the State Constitutional can not be waved. 

Mike was asked to read the papers that the State Lodge had sent.  He then read the letter to those present.

1st VP Bill Dougherty stated that Paul Geiger was at the last board meeting and said that Attorney Geiger had no knowledge of any malfeasance during the contract arbitration.  A recording was played of the Board meeting and Paul Geiger is heard saying that he has no knowledge of the negotiations because he was not involved with the negotiations.  Paul Geiger denied knowing anything about a fix and just suggested that it could be found in emails between Tom Plines and the City, so Paul suggested to save those emails.

In arbitration  50 officers were given their time back for iod due to Coventry not approving surgeries for their injuries.  They had been charged for their time away from the job by the City and the City wanted them to go on disability.  All 50 officers had their time restored and got their surgeries.

On 19 Feb 2014  there will be bullet resistant vest show at the hall.  Most major vest manufactured will be there.

In Branch 50, Judge Tom Donnelly in out of 50 cases found only 4 had probable cause.  The judge goes out of his way to put on the record that the officers are liars.  He is a visiting Judge and it is suggested that if you are to appear in his court room, go to the second floor and go before the Grand Jury and get an indictment.  The Lodge will have more info for 2014 judge elections.  The Lodge Board voted not to give and money to any politician who voted for "pension reform”.

A member that was indicted for taking police action while on duty and suspended without pay, is back on the job.  The City refused to pay indemnification for this  officer and over was 200,000.00 in legal fees were paid by the Lodge.  Which the Lodge is trying to recover in arbitration from the City.

A phone call with IPRA Chief Scott Ando, former DEA agent.  Our contract states that no officer shall answer any allegation without appropriate affidavit.  Right now IPRA is not providing a copy of a signed affidavit to officers under investigation.  Call the Lodge immediately.  The Lodge wants makers of false affidavit turned over to state attn. as the law currently states,  but the law also states that if affidavits are covered by a contract, the contract takes precedence.  This must be fixed.  Either by state law or negotiations.  

The Lodge won the NATO change of starting time arbitration.  The arbitrator gave the City 90 days to identify those who had their times changed. 

Some review officers were placed on the desk and a grievance was filed, the arbitrator dismissed the class action and held for an individual.  He found that desk, review and lockup are all the same assignments.  The Lodge is reviewing the award.  The City is trying to get rid of the review officer position.  

The City has decided that no veteran will loose any limited duty time for injuries in service to our country.  

It his my understanding that President Shields has been assigned to 018 and will report some time in January after he finishes his furlough.

FOP General Meeting 17 Sep 2013

From Kevin C. Jans  Unit Rep 024

From the start of the meeting President Mike Shields admitted to not sending the notice to the City to end our contract prior to the deadline in the contract.  Because of this the City’s (Rahm) stand is that we are not eligible for a retro check from July 1, 2012 till June 30, 2013 and now because a letter was not sent by 1 March, 2013 no retro till after 30 June, 2014.

From the Contract

Section 28.1 — Term of Agreement.

This Agreement shall be effective from July 1, 2007 and shall remain in full force and effect until June 30, 2012. It shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless notice of termination is given, in writing, by certified mail, by either party no earlier than February 1, 2012 and no later than March 1, 2012. The notices referred to shall be considered to have been given as of the date shown on the postmark. Written notice may be tendered in person, in which case the date of notice shall be the written date of receipt. It is mutually agreed that the Articles and Sections shall constitute the Agreement between the parties for the period defined in this Section.

A motion was made for a vote of no confidence for the failure of President Shields to protect our retro payment by not sending the notice of termination during the contract time frame.  During the discussion, President Shields stated that he was sorry and that State Labor Law has a later date and the notice was sent prior to that date (the local Director of the Labor Board rejected that reason during an appeal made by the Lodge, which is going to appealed that decision to the full local Labor Board).  President Shields also stated that no one from the Lodge Board of Trustees told him to send the notice.  Current Immediate Past President Mark Donahue and current Financial Secretary Rich Aguilar stated that they had informed President Shields to send the notice.  A Board member stated that at the Board meeting prior to the deadline President Shields had informed the Board that he (President Shields) would send the notice.  The member who made the no confidence motion stated that the motion would be with drawn if President Shields would promise not to run for re-election.  President Shields made no such statement.  Others at the meeting said that this is the wrong time to send a message of no confidence in President Shields.  This is a time to stand united in our fight for a new contract.  The vote was taken and the motion failed.

There was a vote on dropping two positions from the Lodge’s Constitution.  Those positions were 3^rd Vice-President and the Financial Secretary.  The amendment needed a two thirds vote to pass.  The amendment failed.

Open enrollment is coming for Health Care.  November 4^th to the 19^th.  You can change your health care provider, change from a PPO to a HMO or reverse, add dependants, or do nothing to keep your present plan. Packets will be sent out and you should receive yours before 04 Nov 2013.  If you don’t get your packet, call (312) 299-5111.

Health fairs are coming to the 19^th District on the 24^th and 25^th of September, the 20^th District on the 2^nd and 3^rd of October and the Lodge Hall on the 13^th and 14^th of October.  Call the lodge for more information and the phone number to make an appointment.  There will be free flu shots given at the Lodge Hall for members on 22 Oct 13, 25 bucks for spouses.  There will be a uniform sale at the Lodge hall on 16 Oct 13 from 1pm to 5pm.

The FBI’s Civil Rights Division is looking into Chicago Police shootings.  Agents are knocking on officer’s home doors and asking questions.  Your response should be, “I can’t talk with you right now.  Please give me your business card and I will contact you.”  Say no more, don’t let him/her into your house for any reason!  If some one else let them in, just show them the door and smile.  After the agent gives you his/her card and leaves, call the Lodge immediately

The Lodge lost the acting Desk Sergeant arbitration.  There are several question unanswered and the Lodge will resubmit this to another arbitrator.

Tuition reimbursement arbitration for late submission of paper work should be in soon.

There will be a town hall meeting for a plan to bring in Squad scheduling to the 12^th District.  This is a plan for team policing.   All team members will have the same dog and sergeant. 

 The Department is looking into a directive so that members in the military won’t lose pay during service to the country.

FOP General Meeting

FOP Meeting 18 June 13

From FTO Kevin C. Jans #19016 024 Dist.

Clinton Krislov has been hired by the Lodge to protect or health care rights for retirees in the Korshak litigation and any other needed lawsuits.  The City is trying to get out of paying health care costs for retirees that don’t qualify for Medicare.  The Lodge sees this as a benefit that falls under the pension protection clause of the Illinois Constitution, benefits that “shall neither be diminished nor impaired.”  Clint will be at the FOP Hall on 20 June 13, 1900 hrs. and again on 25 Jun 13, 1200 hrs, for updates and questions about retiree health care costs.

Contract negotiations:  2 meetings are scheduled for later this month however, the City's lead attorney is out of service till latter this Summer and that is slowing things down No word on pay raises.

The City has a bill downstate that would release it from making payments for pensions and health care.  This will not go anywhere, the State is on the hook for our pension if the City defaults and the pension fund goes dry.  Right now there is a law which forces the City to pay Annual Required Contribution, or ARC, the amount required to pay the sum of the pension plan's normal cost to get the pension fund to 90%.

A law for us to use our station address on Driver's License and ID's is sitting on the Governor’s desk waiting to be signed.  Go a head and use your station address on your Driver’s License and State ID

There is a Health Fair scheduled for 09 Sep 13, 1000 to ? hrs in 016.  This is a free $600.00 benefit to all members.  Call the FOP for more information and appointment.

The FOP Picnic is 17 July 13, at Gaelic Park

Any officer that worked with a PPO during the PPO’s training cycle will get out of grade pay.  You will not receive the Daily Observation Report half hour OT.

FTO Facts

176 took the test.

118 were asked to take the training.

FTO’s were allowed to bid for them.

FTO’s are given preference for additional training i.e. Carbine training and Law Enforcement Medical and Rescue Training (LEMART)

FOP Meeting Notes

FOP Meeting 21 May 2013

From FTO Kevin C. Jans 19016 Unit 024

Arbitrations: The 6^th and 7^th day worked during NATO was won by the lieutenant’s union and our decision should be also, as we have the same langue in our contract.  Former FOP President Bill Nolan testified by phone and we expect a quick decision.  Testimony was also heard in the PO’s acting as Desk Sergeants.  The lodge expects a decision by Oct.  We won an arbitration on an IOD, where an officer was out of the car making an ‘el” check and twisted his ankle.  The IOD report was detailed enough to show that the officer was in performance of his police duties when the injury occurred.  Well written paperwork was the reason this arbitration was successful.  Please fill out your reports fully with an eye on getting all the pertinent information in your reports.

We lost an arbitration on the speed of medical payments for IOD’s.  The City took three years to pay an IOD bill and the PO was hounded by a collection agency to pay the bill.  The Lodge is looking to put langue into the next contract to prevent this from continuing to occur. 

Contract: The City has made an offer on health care for active officers that basically doubles the cost to everyone.  No offer on wages.  The Lodge and City will meet on the 7^th, 13^th and 19 of June.

The lodge has given Clint Krislov $50,000 to work on an amicus brief in the Illinois Supreme Court for the Korshak Settlement Agreement, which expires on June 30, 2013.  The Lodge hopes to show that our health care is part of our retirement contractual agreement, which cannot be reduced or impaired.  There is a meeting in the 1st Dist with Clint this Sunday.  Call the 1st Dist for more information.

Senate Bill 6093, which allows PO’s to use their station address on driver’s licenses and license plates has passed in both the Senate and House and is sitting on the Governor’s desk for signing.

If a non-FTO officer works with a PPO during his training cycles, put in an out of grade slip to get FTO pay for the day.  You can’t put in a time due slip as you can’t do a Daily Observation Report (DOR).  Once the PPO is finished with his training cycles, don’t put in the out of grade slip.

FOP Meeting 20 Nov 12

Contract: The City has still not given the Lodge its full proposal yet.  When it does, the Lodge will call in the Unit Reps and go over both proposals.  Then both will be put side by side on the web site for everyone to see.    The Lodge and City have meetings scheduled for 29 Nov and 03, 05, 06, 13 and 14 Dec.

Manpower: In City Council budget meetings, the only concern voiced by the aldermen was police manpower.  The old budget force was 13,500. In this new budget, the number is 12,500.  We have at this time 11,800 officers of all ranks.  The City has hired 275 new officers this year so far.  We have had 579 retirees this year and the City says that it will hire 400 more officers this year and 500 next year.

Pension News: CA 49 failed this past election.  This would have  put new language in pension reform along with a required 3/5 vote majority for passing pension legislation.

The veto session from 27 Nov to 06 Dec will not likely have any new pension legislation.  We Are One spent $385,000 to inform the public about CA 49.  The State Lodge is a member of this group.

Class Action:  We have two suits going on.  The first involves officers who buy time from past jobs with other agencies or military time to get 20 years of service.  They are being denied the premium free health care benefit.  The other is on Light Duty.  Briefs have been submitted and the Lodge hopes to have a decision in January.  

Arbitration: Monday we submit briefs for IPRA taking too long for investigating complaints.  We have over 1000 complaints waiting to be heard and that doesn't include over 6000 grievances for PO's as action Desk Sgt's, also the sixth and seventh straight working days for NATO. 

If you are working in a Dist like 024 or 015 and you are sent to 016 for the tour, even if you get a car and taser first from your Dist of assignment then go to 016, it's still a detail.   It must be put out for bid by the highest seniority, failing to get any bids, it goes to the least senior on the watch.  If that didn't happen senior officer and the detailed officer should grieve the assignment for time and a half! 

ET units 377 and 477 are going to combine into Unit 277 on 06 Jan 13.  They will pick watches and furloughs as one unit.  This will also happen for Units 012 and 013, which will also be combining as 012.  All officers will go to 012. 

Lodge News: Trustee Harold Brown was found to be guilty of violating Lodge rules at a hearing on 16 Oct 12 and expelled from Lodge membership.  Trustee Ron Shogren was also charged but found not guilty.

020 Dist: Watch Bids will be posted on 26 Nov and Furlough picks will be made 11 Dec.

Good News:  In the last FOP News Letter there was a story about two responding officers from the 024th District that were assessed 4k in punitive damages, an officer serving a summons that was ordered to pay 8k in punitive damages and the sergeant that was ordered to pay 10k in punitive damages.  The City was able to negotiate a settlement and the punitive awards were put aside.

The Gold Plan

In order to protect half of our assets, my plan is to put half of our three billion dollar fund into physical gold.

There are many reasons to do this as soon as possible:

Keep city politicians off it (and spending it on their 

projects).

Protect half of our funds from losses due to global financial instabilities from the Euro Zone.

Possible war between Iran and Israel.

Losses due to the Fed wasteful printing of money to keep interest rates low and the financial collapse of the dollar when we’re unable to keep up that rate of printing.

All these factors and more will cause the dollar to turn into dust and take with it most other cash based tools (stocks and bonds).

We must take action now!  This can not wait!  If you have any feeling for the turmoil that is coming, you must take action now and vote for me in order to get the ball rolling on the pension board. 

Talk with your friends about the financial mess that is looming in the very near future.  Whether it’s the city, county, state or world; we have a lot to be concerned about.  However we must act now!  Are any other candidates talking about this?  Do they have a plan?  If so, what is it?  Have they told you what they plan on doing?  My opponents are small thinkers.  You can trust them with your cash, but not your future.  You need to vote and vote for me.  Your future depends on what you (we) do today.  Send in your ballot.  Vote Jans!

One Reason

Gold is the plan!

The pension fund is our money.  It belongs to us for all the hard work and sacrifice we have willing given to the people, businesses and visitors of this great city.  It is a contract and a pledge.  It’s a thank you from those we have sacrificed our family time, our blood and for some, their very lives.  It is not a piggy bank for the mayor or any of his fifty thieves to plunder when they can no longer tax the citizens and businesses into further poverty. 

      

Kevin C. Jans

Petition Challenges

My petition challenges failed at the hearing held at the Pension Board.  The Board found that the petitions had substantially met the Boards requirements.  The challenge for name placement on the ballot was successful.  My name will be second on the list. 

Update: One of my opponents claims to be  endorsed by the Pension Board.  The same Board that heard my failed challenge.  How fair is that?  How fair and independent to you will that board be? 

Formatting

The posts below were copied from a word document and the formatting didn't go directly into the blog, so I had to change a few things in the format.  After the meeting on Tuesday, I will outline my platform for the election.  So please return and if you missed the meeting, I'll let you know how it went.
