    Lifting of wage freeze discussed for city police

    Police union leaders and Police Commissioner H. McCarthy Gipson have been quietly discussing a proposal aimed at persuading the state financial control board to lift the wage freeze for police officers.


    Negotiators refused to divulge details, but Police Benevolent Association President Robert P. Meegan Jr. said officers might be asked to vote on a proposal during a meeting next week.
    Meegan would not address speculation that one provision might involve the union dropping a grievance that challenges the city's decision to place all employees under one health insurer. He said that it would be wrong to discuss specifics before officers have a chance to be briefed, adding that it is possible that the plan could fall apart.

    People who wonder if the glass is half empty or full miss the point. The glass is refillable.

    as stated in another thread

    I would only negotiate with them with the money or benefit up front. They have shown a reluctance to honor contracts...we've been had once, that is enough for me.
