This from the comments:
- I was there and I pray that you never get hurt or sick. The showing was poor for what we are about to lose. This does not only affect medical abusers but the whole department. Are you aware of what we will lose?
Everyone with less than 15 years on the job should have been there. If we do lose the benefit we are all FUCKED plain and simple. With guys at 15 yrs on you have 365 days that will take you to 16 years on the job. At this point you will get 1 year disability for every 4 years on the job. At 16 you are eligible for 4 years on disability which you can carry until you reach your 20 yoj.
Everyone else with less than 15 years needs to be careful out there. Cancer is known to hit certain districts more than others and heart problems are also big on this job. With this new order accommodations will no longer exist be careful who you call medical abuser tomorrow you may be looking at one in the mirror. As for the pregnant officers there is a form you will need to fill out from now on. This new order affects all members even IOD's.
Anyone have some concrete info? Off duty injuries are one thing. We can't see how IOD's would have anything to do with this - it's a separate contract issue.
