One very important note about working in public safety and being in a union- we can not strike. We can not go off the job as it impacts 24/7 emergency 911 response to the community. So if we are without a contract or getting the screw, we have to still go to work. Yes we can picket, but its off-duty.

Why public safety needs unions- because one time California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to take on all of the state's nurses, firefighters, cops and correctional officers-



Back in 2005- Arnold was screwing over the firefighters with Prop 75 and an off-duty city of Alhambra firefighter refused to shake Arnold's hand.



Like I said before, we all deserve fair and equal representation in the work force. This is not Nazi, Germany and the employer cant be Hitler.
