LAPD has agreed to a 2-year contract with no pay increase. That's no surprise, nobody should be getting a pay raise in this economy. What is surprising is they agreed to no monetary compensation for overtime. Instead they will get "paid" for overtime worked in comp time. Thats going to be a huge hit for the OT whores.
The bigger issue is will the supervisors ever let them use the comp time? Hey Sarge, i worked so much overtime the last couple months I've got 80 hours of comp time..can I have the next two weeks off?
"LAPD officials say it could take at least six months before they know how the changes will affect those who work the most overtime hours, such as homicide detectives, patrol officers who make arrests late in their shift and officers with lengthy court appearances.
"Will it affect deployment? Yes, sir. It's going to affect deployment," said Rhonda Sims-Lewis, bureau chief for the LAPD's administrative and technical services bureau. "We will have people taking more days off."
Really...........no one in this economy should be getting a raise? Screw you. You go put your life on the line every day like them and me and all of my other brothers and sisters in the LE community and then lets hear what you say. Especially when the fucking dems want to keep raising taxes and the taxes I pay go to my own wages.
