Jul 26, 2008 - Our finest surely need input to the things that are important to getting their job done! However, as usual, our legislators look to 'organize' rather than 'empower' to solve the problem resulting in a more costly bureaucratic system. As always, the financial impact and funding elements are not in the bill. It'll cost m/billions to pay union dues, administrators, lawyers, etc. in order to keep the same levels of safety and security! I hope the senate/president stop this madness ....

Jul 26, 2008 - Awesome! Finally, a voice for so many who should have an equal right to engage in debates about their workplace practices. These individuals, on a daily basis, place their lives on the line to protect and serve this Country and they should be able to Collectively Bargain! Congratz and thank you those in Congress who voted for this bill! And for those who voted against, rethink your priorities, these people just might have to save your sorry @#$ one day!
