Welcome to the internet home
of the
Garden State's
Boldest Officers!

Satellite television to convicted felons at taxpayer expense!

Why is the Department of Corrections providing inmates
with Satellite/Cable Television?  Allegedly the Inmate Welfare Fund
is paying for this, but where do you think that comes from?

State's gruesome contract proposal ratified; with half of members not even returning ballots!

Ballots mailed – 5160
Envelopes returned – 2795
2 Voided envelopes: 1 no ID; 1 original, duplicate accepted
2793 Envelopes opened
3 Voided Ballots due to identifying marks
Total Valid Ballots Tallied = 2790
1767 accepted state's indecent proposal
1023 rejected state's indecent proposal

What on God's Green Earth were the 1767 thinking?

Why the 1767 knucklehead's should have voted NO!

Don't come crying to the man when:

1. You don’t get a hard copy of the contract
2. You’re disciplined for lateness; even with a legitimate excuse
3. You’re disciplined for being over an hour late after a foot of snow falls
4. The state can solely select your grievance arbitrator
5. Your institution holds a charge over your head for a year
6. You are resigned NOT in good standing for a scheduling screw up
7. Your overtime (supplemental) and regular pay is combined
8. You don’t get your crack whore money, steps, across the board increases because the state doesn’t have the funding to appropriate such increases
9. You retire with one-quarter of accumulated sick and vacation payout instead of one-half
10. You allowed Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthday to be combined (you lost a holiday)
11. You cannot select a Personal Preference Day because your post is closed that holiday
12. You have to work the holiday first before using a Personal Preference Day
13. You lost one-quarter of the Administrative Leave Day allowances (excuses)
14. You cannot use compensatory time even when scheduled more than 30 days out
15. You must provide a doctor’s note after 5 consecutive days out, no longer 10 days
16. You now are on a 12 month sliding scale instead of calendar year for sick time usage
17. Sick Leave Injury will now NEVER EVER return because you gave it away from the contract language
18. You are no longer paid overtime after successfully grieving unfair assignment
19. The Joint Health and Safety Committee has been eliminated
20. The medical premium sharing language was just put into your contract language
21. Your uniform allowance stayed the same for 4 years yet inflation costs rise
22. Tuition Reimbursement is NO more
23. Statutory Law now supercedes negotiated contractual clauses
24. Juvenile Justice Commission is abolished and facilities close and more layoffs occur in the Officer’s ranks – yet you don’t care or help your brothers and sisters in blue; unbeknownst the privatization of your own livelihood follows right on their heels
25. Shall we continue?  Really? Is this not enough already?  WTF?!?  Just what will it take for you to do something?  We don't know what is worse, the 1767 voting for this shit or the 2365 jackasses who didn't even give a shit enought to return a postage paid envelope with their ballot inside!

When will you stand up and reclaim OUR republic ?!?
