Aslffng unions to respond to another union's contract negotiations put unions in a tough position a. Fire: Flanagan is on-boazd, all about garity b. AFSCME: Niland is concerned we elevate the issue c. Assembly: Shar is open to event or venue where show of cooperation, partnership and support makes more sense...rather than an event without you, in response to Federation attack d. Trades: Harry says we're nuts, takirtg Titus' bait What is the purpose/mission: Get our message out: 1. Refute Police Fed message a. Other unions k�ave gotten higher offers (See Attachment 3: Summary of 2008 Agreements)... is very rough but Zists the "ettras" that other groups negotiated. Hardly anyone ever gets the straight pattern, there are always minor variations. What the document shows are the concessions that other groups made to get additional ihings. Tri-C negotzated s oanif cant wage increases above the pattern this round. However, they also agreed to eliminate two sick days and one floating holiday. YVe can defend any of their cZaims about other groups getting more, it is just the give and take of negotiations.) • Every other bargaining unit has accepted 3.25% x 3 years b. 3.25% is below the metro average even with current economic conditions leaving 5-year cops drop to 25 30-year cops drop to 15�' or 16�' Minneapolis got 6.4% that shot them up to 8�' and eventually 7�' (Their claim of being #I S is based on the career earnings model (add together the cur-r-ent wage rates for years 1 through 30 and you have a total career t^ate) and only using a comparison to the old Stanton 5 cities (greater than 25, 000 population) plus Minneapolis. We have never agreed to this comparison group, we use all metro police departments. Based on that we are 21st out of 71 in pay. The career earnings model is easiZy manipulated and being #IS might only be $10 behind #14 zn the rankings. Career earning is only one ofthe ways in which we compare ourselves to the outside market. Their claim of being further behind at the 5-year rate is because many suburbs have a pay scale that goes up very quickly in the beginning and then Zevels out. Ours keeps going until you hit the 20 year rate. If you use total compensation (pay, vacation, sick leave, se�erance, retiree health insurance, etc), we come ont in the top 10. �e 4 # of PEOs (@rivers) = 96 # ofFire Cabtains = 94 # of Fire Arson Investigators = 3 # of Fire Dishict Chiefs = 9 # ofFire D uty Chiefs = 3 # ofAFSCME Clerica1=464 $35,7Z6 � Fire Captains come out a little high because of the pazamedic premium. • Saint Paul officers are eligible for family health insurance with a $76/mth premitun. • The City's wage offer is almost 1Q% over three years. (3.25% X 3) plus increases in hea2th insurance contribufions. • An officer in St. Paul has opportwuties to promote or be involved in specialty functions (K-9, Horse Patrol, Bomb Squad, etc.) that are not available in the suburbs. • There aze opportuniries for overtime, see the Pioneer Press Public Sector Salaries section on lu`gliest paid St. Paul empioyees. In the top 50, four aze Commanders and eight aze Sergeants. c. Mayor Coleman refuses to address the issue • Fair and responsible offer �` • More cops • Ovartime • Westem District Police HQ • New cazs • Investing in crime prevention (Comznunity grants, Second Shift, early childhood education, etc.) • Investing in parks, rec centers and libraries 2. LeY s not confuse a union campaign for more pay with public safety issue 3. Federation is doing a disservice to the people of Saint Paul for bringing the RNC into it 4. We are 100% confident in Police serving and protecting during the RNC If so, no need for an event 1. Issue statement 2. Issue numbers we can shaze 3. Encourage press to contact Shar, Harry, Elliot, Pat and potenrial Police Othenvise, move forward with event 1. Loca121 counterattack 2. 7im suggested Mayor call Robin , 3.

Only a carrent snapshot in time. b. City never agreed to a parCiculaz rank. a City never agreed to a particulaz comparison group. i. Union doesn't include counties or State agencies. ii. What does St. Paul have in common with Savage? d. Raukiugs don't show the range between ciries. e. Doesn't reflect trade off's made during bazgaiuing (i.e.: higher ATB in exchange for elimination of Retiree Health Ins.) £ Wage ranldngs don't reflect other benefits (i.e.: some ciries don't have holidays, it is included in their base pay) g. If total compensation (pay, vacation, sick leave, severance, etc) is used, Saint Paul ranks in the top 10. 5. Saint Paul officers are eligible for family healtk insurance with a$76/mth premium. 6. The City's wage offer is almost 10% over three years (3.25% X 3} plus increases in kealth insurdnce contributions. 7. Mp1s has a guaranteed wage adjustrnent, but the latest discriminafion settlement is only one of many problems. They may need increased pay to recruit quality candidates. 8. An officer in St. Paul has opportunities to promote or be involved in specialty functions (K-9, Horse Patrol, Bomb Squad, etc.) that are not available in the suburbs. 9. There are apportwuties for overtime, see the Pioneer Press Public Sector Salaries section on highest paid St. Paul employees. In the top 50, four aze Commanders and eight are Sergeants. 10. Thirteen contracts were open at the start of the year, only the Federafion contract reinains. 11. Initial letter from the Federation requesting negoriations was dated October 26, 2007 and stated that they wonld be ready to meet a$er December 1, 2007. v� y �� 12. Size of jurisdiction doesn't equal pay, 30 years of collecrive bargaining and a�eements made does. Still need: 13. Dollaz amount and percentage extra the Federarion �ot through arbitration last time. 14. Vacation accruat rates for the metro. 15. Approximate value of health insurance conhiburion for 2008/2009/2010. 16. Crime data for 2010. Attachment 2: "Swinnary of Metro Area Police Wage Settlements." This is from Jun Michels and is probably the reason they are arguing that although 3.25% is good, it is behind the market. Take a look at 2007 St. PauL He lists it as 3%. What the union got in the arbitration was an extra 0.5% half way through the yeaz for half of the police officers. This document is very misleading. I know several jurisdictions did splits (x% on January 1 st and x% on July 1 st). Michels is reporting these as the total amount which helps him raise the metro average.

Otrick has transformed his 32-sworn agency into one of the most [echnicalty �dvancement trainin;, and opportuni- [ies foc specialization aie also some of [he ways ehac big ciry agencies lure neLVappli- canu and late[al transiers. �, 'IheNYPDdoesnocacceptlateraltrans- �, fers.ButoneoFitsbi;sellingpaintstonew recrui[s is the avaiiability of assignmencs in one of 20o special units. A similar marketing str.�te;y is also in use 3,000 miles awayat the LosAngeles Po- lice Department. "Our big;est draw is the availability of promotion opportunities as well as the difFerent jobs thaC we offer such as motor dury, dog duty, helicopter duty," says Lt. rohn Hone, an LAPD recruiter. Unfortunately for Hone, sometimes re- cruits and laterals are seeking a speci6c LAPD job that isn't available. For example, Nfarine snipers that he tries ro recruit ae Camp Pendlemn want to join the LAPD as SWAT snipers right out of the academy, and he has to explain to them that it doesn't work that way. �� sus,v�;vc aur The shortage of police otficecs is notjus[ an administra[ive headache For chiefs and recruiters. Fewer cops an the force means moresacrifice for an agency s officers. Duringthe recencihanksgivingholiday, some veteran officers in certain big cities received an unwelcome hotiday bonus. They were called in to work overtime and parade dury ac the last minute. The resutc was dashed holiday plans, angry spouses, and ptainclothes oKicers franticatly trying to find a unifarm. Some officers dearty love oaertime pay. But6eingfoicedrowoikovertimetomake � up Forpersonnei shorcages can have an ad- verse eHect on the body and [he mind that moneycan'tcure. Palice psychologists say that overwork can lead to depression, an increase of on- the-jo6 accidents, a hair trigger tempet and just plain old butnouc Even the cops are not immune ro chese efFects, so overworkiag its ofGcers can cause a lot of problemsforanagency. � It can also devastare the emotional lives ° p. f � �� a �e � � oF Hie officers. "Tn my expericnce what searts to tzappen is thaz they are spending so much cime acwort: that when they come home theyare exhausted;'says Jana Price- Sharps, chief psychologis[ for the Fresna Police Departmetu. "When they come home, the €amity wants theic needs meC but [f�e officer just tivants to ces[. So they starc develoging marital problems and pmblems with their Itids." Overuvorlc due to pexsonnei shortaoes also has a majur impact on morale. And the same is rrue.when otficers depart t'or greener pasrures after just a few yeacs on ttie force. 4Vhen an agenry fias a revotving door of new reciuits and very few ve terans, it can 6e hazd for cops to build the confi- dence they need to have ia their 6ackug andtheirpartners. . ��D' -G�TT1AIf LfA�dEB Untess America �experiences a majox economic downtum, sacrificial public service jobs like law enforcement wi116e a hard sell ro young citizens.

We will have T-shirts. Free breakfast at Mancini's and NO UNIFORMS and be off duty. Below are talking points for any fellow members you speak to: Optional free breakfast/parking at Mancini's from 8-930 Busses to Sth and 7th Street sta�ting at 930 Step-off and march to City Hall at 1000 DONE AT 1100hrs - Thanks Why Arbitration?: Other St. Pau{ unions have gottan higher offers by the Mayor than ours . Although 3.25% is higher than past years - its below the metro average EVEN W ITH CURRENT ECONOMIC GONDITIONS leaving our 5 year cops to drop to 25th out of 27, our 30 year career drops to 15th or may6e 16th Mpls. just got, in this economy!, - a deserving market adjustment (6.4°lo for 2008) by their city that shot them up to 8th and eventualfy 7th : . After reaching out directly to him twice during this negotiating process - Mayor Coleman refuses to address this issue . The membership voted unanimously after hearing Jim Michels presentation to move forward w/ arbitration Why March?: . This is the start of our campaign for fair pay. We need large numbers to make a story. Much more wi{i folfow but this is where we need members! . This campaign was used successfully by New York and Boston in the past. It is drafted to show that the host city (St. Pau1) has major pay disparityw/ the other suburbs that will be assisting us. IT WI�L NOT threaten anything such as a"work slow - down" . This campaign was created by Michael Shannon. He was the author of our 2FewCops. That campaign pressured our Mayor and C'ity Council and forced an increase in our budget - from 5 cops to 26 in one year and a commitment of 100 additional cops. Most cops with less than 3 years would simply NOT BE HERE w/out that Federation campaign. The Federation forced the issue of unsafe numbers while the Chief was nervous . The March is already news at City Hall and we have already received posifive calls from friendlies . Simply put: Is there ANY way our 2-5 year cops should 6e 25th or 26th out of 27? ANY way our 30 year career should be 16th? . Michael Shannon conducted a day and a haif of interviews of St. Paul citizens, business owners and others - they co�ldn't believe our ranking. Many of those who interviewed have decided to march, as has friends and famiiy - the cops who are affected need to show up .
