I know if I was a cop I would vote for a police union..... police unions are no different than any other unions.... they are they to fight for the employees.....Police unions keep bad officers on the force. there is no need for the police union.
Why do you suppose the police unions are consistently opposed to outside oversight for officers?
Thatโs not entirely true but they can definitely be a bad things at times...... that decision is up to the employees that vote to have one or vote to get rid of it........ I know one time I worked at a job where the union wanted to come in..... management found about it and we got all kinds of perks bc they didnโt want us in a union.Unions are completely useless and are destructive to every industry where they are in use. The need for unions in most cases has passed.

15 years ago, I would have agreed with you. But I do believe you are 90% correct. I think you have a few (very few) good unions and a lot of bad ones. Just speaking from my experience, I think the IBEW is a good group. I think the UAW, police unions and most govt employee unions are useless and paint a pizz pour picture of unions and do labor unions a disservice.
I guess I like the IBEW is that they do establish a set of standards for their apprentices and seems like they are involved in trying to train their workforce. And quite frankly, I don't think they have done enough to protect American jobs from illegal aliens and foreigners taking their work here at home.
But maybe that is just my experience.
I understand they do keep bad officers in place but the reason they oppose community oversight is perfectly illustrated by the cities where police are currently being hamstrung. Politicizing police oversight is a bad idea and those community oversight boards are nothing but political and are easily weaponized. There are more effective ways of reaching the desired result.Police unions keep bad officers on the force. there is no need for the police union.

Fox in the chicken coop. Pretty brazen. This one could easily go in the WTF thread.
