35% of CPD did not submit vaccine info by deadline
"Does anybody really think this is about stopping the spread?" said FOP President John Catanzara. "This is all about total control by this mayor. She is a miserable human being."
CHICAGO - Friday's deadline to report vaccination status has come and gone and on Monday at CPD headquarters, the first group of non-compliant officers turned in their badges and were put on a "no-pay" status as the police union and the Chicago Police Department appear nowhere closer to reaching an agreement.
"Does anybody really think this is about stopping the spread?" said FOP President John Catanzara. "This is all about total control by this mayor. She is a miserable human being."
The stalemate seems to have become even more bitter over the city's vaccination mandate. Officers who haven't reported their vaccination status or agreed to the temporary testing option are now losing their badges and paychecks. Over 4,000 Chicago police officers — roughly 35 percent of the force — are still non-compliant.
"I really hope the men and women of the CPD, who've been fed a lot of ‘stuff’...are not going to ruin their careers over going to a website and saying 'yes' or 'no,'" said Mayor Lightfoot.
The police union argues the city has violated its members' contractual rights and is pushing for an outside arbitrator to step in.
"We are now at the point where we are 100 percent against what they are putting forward and they are 100 percent against what we are putting forward. There is never going to be a negotiated settlement to this. The only settlement is going to be at an arbitrator's table," said Catanzara.
The city maintains it is bargaining in good faith and reminds officers the temporary testing option ends December 31.
"We need all of our workers within all of our departments and agencies to step up and do their part to end the pandemic by getting fully vaccinated by that date," said Lightfoot.
The FOP has filed a temporary restraining order to try to force the city to go to the arbitration table. That order is right now in the hands of a judge.
carrying out the agenda of her master
it's time for the alderpeople to make a serious inquiry as to the legalities surrounding the mayor's removal from office, before it's too late
This is about total control. To the rest of CPD still on the job...DO NOTHING
ReplyDeleteIf this was a real pandemic, with people dropping dead all over, it would be all hands on deck and no one would even thing of firing any 1st responder. This is a hoax. THis mayor has got to be the worst "mayor" the city ever had.
Its 99.8% survivable..how can it be a Pandemic.....its a propaganda hoax fueled by the marxist media.
DeleteHow come there is a shortage on everything else but not on caskets or burial vaults????
Next they will be telling officers at roll call to code jobs asap and we're all in this together bullshit, just do nothing, turn your backs on this mayor and sup and ride on everybodys jobs, take your time, YOU didnt create this fucked up mess THEY did, now they can reap what they have sewn.
ReplyDeleteChicago police officers are overworked.
ReplyDeleteMany of them need a break.
Lightfoot is doing them a favor.
Whoever is left will be working 12s, getting even more burnt out and quitting anyway.
DeleteThis is the portal part, with all these threats by Beatljuice, I can't imagine the threats she is going to make around the holidays when the jab is due by Dec 31.
There are 2 options, go in the portal and have to get the vaccine in 2 months and comply to the demands of this Nazi, or retire/resign and say goodbye to this horrible city, resume your law enforcement career in another city, and other cities would love to have seasoned police officers.
Never forget, we are in control not her. There are many of us, if we comply to dictators now what is the next "mandate"? Think about that, she will mandate and violate every contractual agreement.
This is by far the worst condition this city has ever been in. I can guarantee that the citizens of Chicago care more about public safety then they do about someone's vaccine status.
This needs to end now.
Go apply in Indiana where you can still be the real Police!
DeleteGood job there Mayor Buttle Juice.
ReplyDeleteVaccine = Medical Uncertainty

and there isn't!!! Its all BS from the biden regime. They are using Group Think techniques to brainwash the masses.
Did Larry Lightfoot get lucky with any of the Lady Baskeball players? Like meet you at the Mayors office at 5:30pm bring extra batteries?
ReplyDeletewho would have thought they'd be able to fuck everything in this country up so fast?
ReplyDeleteWhere is the national fop on this? Crickets and some bullshit talking. Get the members who are now on no pay status money through the lodge, buisnesses, companys, outreach , do something besides talking. This is the biggest thing happening to police right now
ReplyDeleteCrime in Chicago is completely out of control and many people don’t understand why the mayor doesn’t care. Ask any person who has lived under communism. In a communist country, the police exist to protect the powerful and to ensure compliance with every tyrannical edict. Our tyrant of a mayor does not care about crime that effects the poor and the powerless. Regardless of color, the lives of the powerless do not matter to this mayor.
ReplyDeleteDumb vs. Dumber
ReplyDeleteThey cannot force you to put something into your body against your will. This TYRANNY!!
ReplyDeleteHow can they discipline you for retiring how do they know it was because you don't want the vaccine you just decided it was time to retire? That's bullshit and I will be filing a lawsuit over it! I planned on retiring at this time years ago.
ReplyDeleteHit the medical continue to get paid!
ReplyDeleteAnytime the department fucks with you over anything, hit the medical and fuck them
