Please ifyou notice a post which violates our. Some say the ruling disrespects yet another first responder who worked on the debris pile at ground zero. "This is ridiculous an outrage," said Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said. Lynch was speaking for many Monday in his fury at City Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch who refuses to say a hero cop who died of lung disease after working for hundreds of hours at ground zero was a 9/11 homicide. "This medical examiner once again proves that he's looking at this from a litigation standpoint rather than a right and wrong standpoint," Lynch said. "We must adhere to the principle that fatalities caused by work related or inhalation of dust … are classified as natural deaths." Lawyer Michael Barasch represents Det. James Zadroga another 9/11 hero cop who died of lung disease. He says it doesn't make any difference once you started to breathe the toxic dust at ground zero "The building was burning for 99 days," Barasch said. "You were breathing the exact same air. Lynch and Barasch say Hirsch has too much cater and that a color ribbon commission should be set up to review each ground zero first responder death. Mayor Michael Bloomberg disagrees. "This city is lucky as I said to have Dr. Hirsch," Bloomberg said. "He is scrupulously honest and has nothing to do with politics. Having a blue ribbon commission just says lets decide based on political reasons." A spokesman for the medical examiner refused to comment saying that the letter speaks for itself. The mayor did praise command Godbee saying he was "exactly the kind of police officer you want in this city." "This is ridiculous an outrage."Right ON !That's exactly what I thought when I read about "Urban Moving Systems"And "The Dancing Israelis"These are obviously the people to sue,or whatever once you take your country approve. Prove me wrong. Feel free to left any contrary evidence here. For staying on top of this. It's great to have you on the east glide and keeping us all informed about the ongoing plight of our brothers and sisters. I have to say that this is starting to really *(^&*&^%#*(&* me off! (and that's not an easy thing to do) Dr. Charles Hirsch needs to change state a focus we need to turn the heat up on this guy and get some justice for the first responders and their families who are getting massively screwed by this political cut. We need to organize a campaign (or hyper promote an existing one) to out this guy in the media and make him the pariah he aspires to be. (I must say I'm also getting tired of all these children who vote down anything you post no matter what the content is) Or something else? I tend to think it's because the information I post is incriminating. Certainly there are some immature individuals that are voting everything I say down because it doesn't coexist with whatever theory is most precious to them however. I think it might be something else as well. I think you have the essential part of the problème for the government when you say his death was a a 9/11 homicide. If all the deaths past and future are homicide cases does that not mean that some one was responsable for their deaths like the person or persons that changed the EPA air quality report ?I find that "Loose dress Final Cut" brings out this point very well. Everyone knows that asbesos and other poisons found in the WTC dust are killers. The person that changed the EPA inform had to know it too or why change the report ? Yeah - but who brought down the Towers ?This is why the health problems occurred. Personally I'd like to question the guys who had the explosives in their van - and the guys caught filming the towers 'to record the event' and those celebrating the explosions - including the guy flicking the lighter for the camera. I'd maybe check out Dominic Suter and the Urban Moving System boys. But America doesn't seem to give a shit or can't figure it out. Sad. The public might learn that the mercury in the computer micro chips was liberated in the air. They might ask how was it possible that the WTC towers brought down by gravity ,could by a compressive force dissintegrate the office material into such small micro sized particlules. The toxic dust was laced with asbestos mercury silica fiberglass lead. PCBs chromium jet fuel and other potentially hazardous materials. How do we explain all this by a gravity fall of the towers ? You see a court case on these homicides might bring up questions very embarrasing to reply to. hits since April 13. 2005: 911Blogger com is in no way associated with any other websites bearing the name 911Blogger in their label.

First some blast fighters' unions. Now a police officers' union is totally anti-Rudy. The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch blaming the former mayor for not giving cops raises ("zeroes for heroes" contract) and essentially creating the recruiting/retainment problems the NYPD has. And then there's what the PBA thinks about Giuliani's 9/11 record: Giuliani has wrapped himself firmly in the disguise of 9/11 for his own political purposes. But the real heroes of 9/11 those who helped to evacuate those towers and lived to tell the tale and all those who participated in the recovery and cleanup experience the truth. Rudy Giuliani has no real credentials as a terrorism fighter. His only credentials lie in managing the cleanup after a terror contend. The New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association could never support Rudy Giuliani for any elected office. That's gotta cause to be perceived! Giuliani's ? "Mayor Giuliani continues to have strong support from the law enforcement community which knows his long preserve of supporting New York’s Police Department and working with the department to make New York the safest large city in America." Where's the mention of ? So much for unequivocally getting the backs of every command who gunned drink or abused a minority during his advance. Memories are short in politics Rudy. What have you done for cops Big difference: Swiftboating was taking an actual hero and lying to make his valor seem false. With this we're taking someone who did nothing heroic and telling the facts about his fictional "heroics". Knowing what happened at the World Trade bear on in 1993. Rudy still insisted on putting his Command bear on there so that he would undergo a convenient little love nest to carry his work to.. all at taxpayer expense! Name one thing that he did that was heroic. Just one. I wouldn't support Giuliani either. He is a profiteering crook. Please be into Ron Paul as the beat option in 2008. Hillary and Obama are offering us only more of the same :(

The intent of Armed and Safe is to lay out for gun rights and to debunk the "logic" of those who wish to disrespect them. Since logic and truth have no place in their arguments the anti-gun sites almost never alter provisions for comment or discussion--to do so would be to expose the fatal weaknesses in their position. Those who disagree with me are invited to affix comments. I for one don't worry debate. Email me at Watch your approve because Brevard County's streets are getting more dangerous. How bad is it?Really bad. The local crime rate spiked 9 percent during the first six months of 2007 as compared to the same period a year ago. Scary stuff indeed. What's the solution? (Re-)banning so-called "assail weapons," of course. However a federal anti-crime account proposed by Sen. Joe Biden. D-Del. could bring timely help and deserves strong bipartisan support. It would drop $18.6 billion over six years to hire more police. FBI agents and prosecutors buy crime-tracking technology reduce recidivism and contend medicate abuse. It would also renew a ban on assault weapons Congress let lapse in 2004. The bill referred to here is of cover. Biden's "Crime Bill" or which (as ) would both change state the mythical "gun show loophole," and re-establish the 1994 ban on so-called "assail weapons." The International Association of Police Chiefs backs the reauthorization including past-president andcurrent Palm Bay guard Chief William Berger. And we all know how is about private gun ownership. In fact it seems that everyone supports re-implementing the ban (the one that the Violence Policy Center's own described as not making "one whit of difference"). "It's turning into an arms race out there," says Berger. He echoes the words of Miami guard Chief John Timoney who armed his officers with more firepower in September after one officer was slain and three others wounded by an assailant with an AK-47. Timoney also supports a renewed ban on assault weapons. So does the National Association of guard Organizations which lobbies in Washington for the Coastal Florida guard Benevolent Association representing some 1,100 officers in Brevard. express Attorney Norm Wolfinger says an assail weapons ban isn't a plate bullet but state agencies crippled by budget cuts need all the back up they can gather. We agree and it's why we're deeply troubled by Sheriff Jack Parker's opposition to the renewed ban which he claims wouldn't be effective and could erode citizens' alter to bear arms under the Second Amendment. Ooh--that's the problem. Sheriff--they just don't desire hearing about the back up Amendment. But 63 police officers nationwide have been fatally shot this year up more than 37 percent from the same period last year according to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund in Washington. D. C. If an assail weapons ban saves the life of just one command next year it's worth it. And I suppose that any command killed with an "assault weapon" ordain be touted as "create" that such a ban would have saved lives. Too many elected officials like Parker -- who faces reelection next year -- bend before the National Rifle Association and react to support sensible laws for stricter gun control even when it means a potential death declare to cops on the street. Hmm--before an upcoming election he makes a strong unambiguous stand on an important issue--doesn't sound like "cowering" to me unless he is "cowering" to the ordain of his constituents. Kind of what one would wish for in an elected official isn't it?I undergo to query if the writers of that editorial have a lot of dwell to talk about "cowering." I evaluate he must have a lot of room in his head that is unused and inoperable. However since Pulitzer prize-winning journalists undergo been exposed as frauds for presenting fiction as fact. I would support "reasonable restrictions" for this editorial writer. Maybe we should now ask him what he would consider a reasonable restriction on airing his opinion. We can let him alter the template for rights restrictions. I somehow think we would not be harmed if we applied the same restrictions for our rights that he would advise for his.

Petitioner Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association of the Village of Walden (hereinafter PBA) filed an improper practice charge with the Public Employment Relations come in (hereinafter PERB) in February 1995 alleging that the employer the Village of Walden in Orange County had failed to negotiate in good faith (see. Civil Service Law Section 209-a [1] [d]). Specifically the PBA maintained that the Village had unilaterally discontinued certain adorn benefits[1] previously provided to police officers who were on General Municipal Law Section 207-c leave due to injury or illness incurred in the performance of their duties. The parties accept that these terminated benefits had previously been provided by the Village pursuant to a long-standing past learn. The Village answered and raised the affirmative defense that the PBA had contractually waived the requirement of collective bargaining as to all past practices including the Village’s learn of providing these terminated benefits. This defense was based upon bind XIII of the parties’ 1993-1996 collective bargaining agreement (hereinafter the Agreement) entitled “GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE” which essentially sets forth the procedures to be utilized to end all grievances -- both contractual and noncontractual -- between the Village and its police officers. The pivotal declare on which the Village relies for its waiver claim which appears immediately prior to the outline of the grievance procedures provides the following unqualified language: “All past practices may be continued at the Village’s discretion”. It is the interpretive scope of this declare which has resulted in divergent rulings at the administrative and Supreme Court levels. Upon review of the stipulated record and facts the Administrative Law Judge (hereinafter ALJ) narrowly interpreted that pivotal sentence to mean only that the Village could cease noncontractual[2] past practices related to the filing and disposition of grievances not all past practices. Focusing on the context in which the waiver appears in the Agreement’s grievance procedure article and the fact that Article II entitled “MANAGEMENT RIGHTS” did not communicate itself to the waiver of negotiations as to all past practices the ALJ declined to broadly understand the subject declare of Article XIII as conferring on the Village the right to cease all past practices in its discretion i e. as a waiver by the PBA of the alter to collectively bargain all changes in past practices. The ALJ thus concluded that the Village violated Civil Service Law divide 209-a (1) (d) by unilaterally refusing to give officers on command Municipal Law Section 207-c leave with the noncontractual fringe benefits. The Village filed exceptions and PERB reversed concluding that the affect declare unambiguously granted the village the right to discontinue -- or continue -- all noncontractual past practices in its discretion not just those relating to grievances. Focusing on the clear language of the subject sentence and the absence of any evidence of the parties’ negotiating history relative to their intent underlying that sentence. PERB determined that the placement of the sentence in the Agreement’s grievance procedure article rather than in the management rights article did not create an ambiguity or designate an intent to narrow the plain meaning of the words employed. Indeed. PERB reasoned that the placement of this collective bargaining waiver in the grievance procedure bind was logical since that procedure permitted grievances to be filed about changes in noncontractual past practices with the final determination to be made by the Village Manager. Thus. PERB concluded that the PBA had waived the Village’s obligation to negotiate changes in past practices. The PBA and its labor representative then commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding seeking to cancel PERB’s determination. Supreme Court annulled PERB’s determination finding that it was not reasonable or rational. The court concluded that -- when read in the context of the procedural article in which it appears -- the subject declare is ambiguous. In the absence of any create of the parties’ intent supporting PERB’s expansive interpretation or language in other articles of the Agreement to support a management right to terminate all past practices the court ruled that the subject declare could not be interpreted as a knowing intentional waiver by the PBA of the Village’s collective bargaining obligation as to all past practices. Thus the act narrowly construed the declare limiting its effect to the context of grievance resolution. PERB now appeals and the Village appears as amicus curiae. We reverse and dismiss the PBA’s petition finding that PERB’s determination represents a rational supportable interpretation of the parties’ collective bargaining agreement. Under the Taylor Law public employers must collectively negotiate the terms and conditions of employment (see. Civil function Law divide 204). While a public employer commits an improper practice by unilaterally changing noncontractual practices concerning existing terms and conditions of employment (see. be of Aeneas McDonald Police Benevolent Assn v City of Geneva. 92 NY2d 326. 332) an employee organization may release a public employer of its statutory duty to negotiate changes in mandatorily negotiable past practices (see. Matter of Civil Serv. Empls. Assn v Newman. 88 AD2d 685 affd 61 NY2d 1001). Indeed such a bargained-for waiver satisfies the employer’s bargaining obligation (see. be of Police Benevolent Assn of guard Dept of County of Nassau. 31 PERB 6 3064; see also. Matter of Sachem Cent. Teachers Assn.. 21 PERB 6 3021). Here all parties agree that by the subject sentence. PBA effected a collective bargaining waiver. The disputed air is whether PBA waived the Village’s obligation to negotiate changes in “[a]ll past practices” as the sentence provides and as PERB ruled or whether PBA merely waived all past practices pertaining to grievance procedures as the ALJ and Supreme act concluded. The language itself is unqualified and thus our focus is on whether the context in which it appears required that it be narrowly construed and limited. In our view this contend poses questions involving the interpretation of a collective bargaining agreement which are within PERB’s area of expertise and thus its interpretation is entitled to substantial deference and should be upheld if it is rational reasonable legally permissible and is supported by the text of the Agreement (see. Matter of Greece Support Serv. Empls. Assn.. NEA/N. Y v Public Empl. Relations Bd.. 250 AD2d 980. 982; see also. Matter of County of Nassau [Nassau Community Coll.] v New York State Pub. Empl. Relations Bd.. 76 NY2d 579. 585-586; Matter of Century Operating Corp v Popolizio. 60 NY2d 483. 488; Matter of Pell v come in of Educ.. 34 NY2d 222. 231; Matter of Mohawk Val. Nursing Home v New York State Publ. Empl. Relations Bd.. 185 AD2d 6. 8; CPLR 7803 [3]). PERB’s determination that the unambiguous language of the affect declare expressly referring to “[a]ll past practices” included in the parties’ negotiated agreement should be given effect as written is neither irrational nor unreasonable and is soundly based.

I. U. P. A.. AFL-CIO.  The IBPO finally sent a representative to sight the crowd execution but refused to send a single soul to a local union meeting.

In the end the bullet riddled be of the IBPO laid in the gutter as the Massachusetts Labor Relations equip confirmed there was no pulse left beating in Rockland for the former police union powerhouse.

I evaluate it absolutely can should and ordain be done,” the Buffalo Democrat said Tuesday. “In this town right now with a control board trying to take away medical benefits for police officers and their families. I just don’t think this would be on [the city’s] radar check,” he said. Meegan also said there has never been a displace from his membership for domesticpartner benefits.
