Don't be left alone out in the dark
The various articles on the left are available to you so that you
can review your rights and better understand your job and its challenges.
Your constitutional rights or "Garrity Statement" should
be attached to each and every
request by your supervisors for your statement about an incident involving your
work.
Remember, "as a condition of employment you are required to abide by the
departmental rules and regulations. You must answer questions, give statements, and submit
reports at the order of an investigating officer, or become subject to disciplinary action
for refusal to obey."
Every officer should know and use
his/her Garrity rights in order to protect his personal and job related rights.
"We have met the enemy"...
"and they are us".

WHY BUY UNION?
"The Union Label"
(Prince Rupert, B.C. Labor Herald)
You’re a Union Man, I take it,
For you pay your Union dues;
But, my friend, is there a Label
Of the Union in your shoes?
Do you see the Union label
On tobacco that you buy?
Or upon your daily paper?
You can get one if you try.
Is a Label in the pocket
Of the suit upon your back?
A Label on your collar-
Or a Chinese spider track.
Do you find the Union label
In the sweatband of your hat?
Look and see if you can find it-
Did you ever think of that?
How about the Union label
On the broom that your wife swings
How about it on your table,
And a thousand other things?
There’s a moral in this poem
You can find it if you try,
If at first you fail to see it-
Ask yourself the reason why.
