Is it like the ones here for normal cops in Toronto or are you doing something better?

Bobbing for doughnuts? :lol: (joke, I know lots of cops. Unfortunatly none are in the traffic division :rolleyes: )

The physical is a small part of it, it is a must have but once you are beyond a "pass mark" it means very little.

I don't know many beat cops but the resumes of some of these guys who are seargents and above would shock most, they shocked me and I'm usually immune. There are some real hardcore quality dudes in Metro experience and academic wise. I wish I could hire them away for my work, they could make a real killing in private business but thankfully they they are dedicated to policing.

This potential OPSU strike makes me VERY mad. If any of you hippies wants to take the subject on with me then go for it...........

Something we agree on... is it similar to the CUPE strike they're threatening province-wide?

I haven't called my brother-in-law for days, cause I'm afraid the subject will come up. I like the guy, and I have a feeling he's against the strike, but I don't wanna press it.

They're going to strike over pension allotment and management. PENSIONS! They should consider themselves lucky that their employer not only offers one, but contributes as well. That's more of our tax dollars feeding their retirement after our tax dollars feed their paycheques!

I'm sure they deserve their cheques. I simply don't see what gives any unionized employee the right to strike and remove services from a deserving public that already pays their cheque because they disagree with PENSION MANAGEMENT. That's what the CUPE strike is about, anyhow.

Sorry about borging your thread, Chad.

No worries about borging man, not at all.......

Are you talking about the Metro Toronto Police or OPP? I think it's pretty standard across the board for police service to have quite an exceptional benefit package along with as mentioned pensions that they contribute to also. I haven't looked into it but there's pages of 'benefits' in the info I've seen.

Does anyone have any news links on this potential strike? Just curious as I've heard nothing of it yet.....
