If severance was part of their collective bargaining agreement he would get it. In a similar situation with a 28 year old who resigns our CBA does not provide severance. The employee would be able to run our paid personal leave like vacation, and they would be able to roll over their 401K and retirement, or cash in them out.
Why do I, for some reason, not believe this? Could this just be put out so that the tribes wouldn’t have anything else to loot and riot over? Just a thought on my part............
Not a hot potato for the union, just probably not part of their contract. I’d be surprised if it was. He would get vacation and what retirement and 401k he has coming but not “severance”.

The nonprofit groups involved were trying to determine how they could properly use the money.

-Wilson was stupid in thinking that him resigning will stop threats.
I’m certain that never crossed his mind — he had to give a PC reason for resigning.
If severance is not part of the contract he won’t get it. Not surprising at all. I work under a contract, I’m 54, if I resigned right now I would get paid personal leave and would be able to cash out or roll over my 401k and retirement. No severance.
I would like to put in another view, I could be totally wrong though. It could be true that the officer thought this. If so, how wrong he was.
I believe that everything has been done with a view to appease the criminal rioters and so called protesters. The act of his complete disassociation with the local authority may be a careful plan. If not, they have thrown him under the bus.
I take the liberty of repeating a previous post. Why have there not been cries for the prosecution of those who broke the law so deliberately. Burning, looting, rioting and figures publically calling for more criminal acts.
Some naïve teenager is apparently responsible for most of the controversy over the fund-raising.
Now GoFundMe has issued a statement in response to the Haters in the Gentle Giant’s camp:

IMO Dorian Johnson was not truthful. Darren Wilson had already called the dispatch and requested backup - this is an undeniable fact. He said that he wanted to delay the suspects until the backup arrives. Why would he risk hitting them by risky driving? He'd be toast. Why would he alert the suspects by being aggressive to them? None of that makes any sense. It is far more likely that Michael Brown's mind was not working properly after repeated drug use. This can be proven by his pointless and stupid robbery at the store, under the video camera. This can be further proven by his attitude of invulnerability after the robbery, as he never even thought of concealing the cigarettes but just carried them in his hands while several police cars went by. This is not what a rationally thinking person (even a robber!) would do. Why then, after seeing so much irrationality from Mr. Brown, should the GJ believe that MB turned on a dime and became a logically thinking Mr. Spock?
If you read the testimony of Dorian Johnson, he was not even trying to hide the fact that he is not a brave man (to put it mildly.) I am not even sure that he is a particularly bad person, considering the environment where he grew up. I would think that Mr. Johnson decided to embellish the actions of Michael Brown simply to survive. Nobody was going to protect him and his family from the mob, and he is so poor that he couldn't pay for a handful of cigarettes that MB stole. He had to play his role within the society. Perhaps he'd love to run away from that society - but how many people can do that? He is hardly a preferred hire, with his drug habit.
I never said severance was in his contract, that was someone else. Yes of course he would get what he already earned.
"Hot potato" even so. They didn't want him to fight the moral fight. The union wanted him to resign, whether they would say that publicly or not.
Might as well be Mayor Beyoncé Knowles, because this f'er doesn't have a pair.
Coward
Well it just wouldn’t do to screw up liberal narrative.
I would figure that’s who would. Maybe they will, it just got announced.
That’s not a picture of Michael Brown.
So the ‘Gentle Giant’ supporters are now boycotting GoFundMe.com because money was raised there for officer Wilson.
Which means all the other good causes, such as for cake-baking Natalie (a black woman who opened a cake shop in Fergadishu, that was burned to the ground) are to be lumped in with those charities that aren’t “down for the struggle”.
Makes sense to me.
I don't see the controversy with regard to that.
Also, if he plays his cards right and doesn't act the fool like that Zimmerman character did, I think Officer Wilson stands to make a good deal of money in selling his story for a book and maybe a movie as well.
Wilson might not be vested for retirement, so that maybe why he gets nothing for retirement. He probably has to put in x number of years before getting a little bit.
I don’t know.
Police would probably have a better contract than the others.
Your right. He should have filed a workers comp claim.
Maybe then get a different job in the city based on some disability.
