Fireman Suspended Over US Flag Decal ON LOCKER

Great news!

Back to the argument ...

Tab,

You are in private business, and own your own private business.  You can do whatever you want with rules and such as long as you don't get caught running a foul of the law.  You can repress free speech, expression of religion, the Right to bear arms, be a single race or sex or sexual orientation employer, require english only, etc.  This was a governmental agency, and they must transparently not discriminate or infringe on Rights.  The firefighter had discussed this with whoever had issues with it, but no where does it state that he received due process until this release today.  This should have happened after his first discussion!

Fantastic! Once again good news. Cooler heads prevailed OR extreme pressure from the FF's supporters? God Bless our firefighters.

Tab's wrong (as usual), FF Krapf is reinstated, and the directive is being rewritten - the smart way to go.

All is right in that little corner of the world. Now for the rest of this effed up planet . . .

You forgot to point out that this also came down to a pissing contest and was not about "policy" at all.

and the boss caved too the union...

thats exactly why CA is fucked up.  They will give into the unioncartel ever single time. 


Its not about the flag, its about not fallowing directives after being told to do something.

The Union had them by the short and curlies. No due process which is standard in every MOU negotiated by IAFF shops. Then the Union does what they do best. Find a mutually acceptable solution to a problem or issue without going into lawsuits or grievance proceedings. IAFF are not thugs, never have been thugs. and will always find a solution to a problem or issue as long as the local government and FD management allow them to participate in the process. If the Commish had consulted the Union prior to issuing his policy, this never would have happened.
