Please, the FOP in Indianapolis is not a union!
Just the Police Union? What about Fire Departments, Teachers Unions, and the requirement that government contracts can only go to Union Contractors. These perks are bankrupting the state at a rapid pace. Open the market and abandon the Union requirement. While Police and Fire departments have tough, dangerous and stressful jobs, why can they “retire” at age 50? There are plenty of jobs in these departments that are not dangerous. Put them to work to age 60 to 65 filling these tasks. Teacher’s have us over a barrel and can retire 10 to 15 years into their jobs. They all get lifetime retirement benefits which is not fair to the average worker. End lifetime retirement and health benefits and put them all on 401Ks. The state can not create a budget without knowing the total costs involved. Open up building and road construction to all companies, not just Union shops..
