The Fraternal Order of Police in Camden New Jersey proved without a shadow of a doubt, public union willingness to toss fellow officers to the dogs.

In a 300-1 vote, the union rejected an offer that that would have saved 100 jobs. That offer called for three days a month of unpaid furloughs for patrol officers for six months, then one furlough day in each of the following 12 months.
I'd have to have a damn strong reason to toss away 100 of my brethren like that. I know I could live with that kind of furlough without huge problems
Well I do see some political spin in this, I am sure Madam Mayor could have taken a small pay cut and saved a job or two as well.
Of course they fat at the top prefers you not hear about or consider this.
