You don't seem too concerned about the states in the U.S. that do have collective barganing verses the states that do not. Where is the justice in all that? You sleep well at night knowing the police, fireman and correctional officers are doing the task at hand, but let that come into your personel life and your attitude will change. What if a police officer shoots an innocet man or woman? What if a fireman lets a house burn down, or worse yet what if a correctional officer doesn't do his or her job and allows someone to get hurt? This bill is for everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would hate to see another Katrina incident where police and other public safety officers walked off the job during the emergency. We are living in a time when support for public safety employees is important. Public safety employees can not strike, but they can quit. I work in a public safety agency where over 6,000 employees walk off the job every year. This is not needed and can be avoided with improved benefits, such as HR 980 will provide. You people need to get your facts right. NYPD has collective bargaining rights, I didn't see any of them walk off the job because of the stress of 9-11. New Orleans PD does not have collective bargaining rights, you see how they reacted in an emergency. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I'm glad New Orleans PD officers weren't in New York working during 9-11. Support in southern states for public safety employees is poor.
