How many cops are going to get ripped a new one by their spouses because they procrastinated in filing for retirement?

Damn i’d hate to be the guy that waited a day to long. Crap. Stuck for another year or whenever the ban is lifted.

If they can’t retire right now, some may ‘decide to get sick’. You almost can’t blame them. They don’t get much support from the Mayor or the Union.

That’s ridiculous. A person should be able to retire whenever he wants to. It’s the job of management to get the paperwork done in a timely fashion. Hire temps or whatever, but get the paperwork done. The police union should file a lawsuit over this, like right now.

Evidently they can, just be refusing to process the paperwork. The city is claiming that there are not enough clerks.

So if a cop tries to retire without the necessary paperwork, he’ll get no pension and no post-retirement health care...until the paperwork catches up with him.

That’s the way I see it.

Thats fine, I would sit in a squad car and do absolutely nothing until the paperwork is done.

The union doesn't want to lose members either. Those union dues come in handy to the union bosses.

Exactly. Probably a breech of contract of employee rights. Forced servitude kind of against the Constitution.

If someone has the time, how the hell do you force them to stay and refuse retirement?

The billion dollars they are taking from the police will be needed to pay all these pensions.

The system is poorly designed because in addition to the officers leaving because of the way they are being treated, the city has created a financial incentive basing pensions on salary plus overtime. So nearing retirement suddenly officers rack up as much OT as possible (in this case the riots did that for them). Now the get out and get a higher pension than they otherwise would have been eligible for and the taxpayers have a lifetime obligation.
