Will UAW Strike?

[ultrarunner]

I do like cruise control because I don't like looking over my shoulder...

Every morning there is a stretch of freeway downgrade where CHP hides in the between the bushes with radar...

It's just too easy to go 65 or 70 and the new posted speed limit sign just before the officers vantage point is 55... so each morning I cruise to work...

If he could expand to a general work stoppage I imagine it would get more traction as I hear very little about the UAW here and everyone where the subject has come up is ambivalent with only Tesla being bought new... not a week goes by with out another paper plate Tesla in the parking lot...

The city is slowly turning into an 80's-esque dystopian nightmare, but thank Christ the doctors can get their electric cars.

This feels like a bad movie.

Now codified by ordinance and you are spot on.

Our local beat career officer shot and killed a man at Walmart swinging a bat and is charged by DA with murder going on several years now.

The person he killed has become sort of a local hero with public spaces now named for him.

I was speaking with the officer when he got the call to rush to Walmart…

A very vocal public said the man swinging the bat was off his meds and it’s not like he had a gun and was shooting people.

In a split second your career is over and nothing will ever be the same for all concerned.

Departments throughout the Bay Area took note and many officers accelerated their retirements…

There is no way in hell that I would be a cop in Cali….

Few stay in retirement… maybe why Idaho is safe… it has the largest enclaves of out of state retired LEOs?

Nevada also had fair amount I know in the greater Carson City area..,

Is that because LAPD retirees go to Idaho/Nevada and there are lots of them retired? I can’t imaging NYPD or east coast PD heading that far west.

It’s standard for California officers to cash out and take their pensions with them out of state.

It was such a big deal California went after non resident retired drawing California based retirements implementing a source tax but that did not last long… but is simple if in the State retirement system because a portion of your monthly retirement was withheld.

Not that it matters or is relevant, but I read the Harry Bosch books. They often refer to LAPD retiring and going to Idaho.

I guess there is some fact in fiction!

Where will the retired UAW go or will they stay put?

I spent a little time in Michigan and work with people from Michigan...

I like it's automotive heritage but seeing block after block of abandoned homes really sunk in as the state has some very beautiful and scenic areas but urban decay was made very real.

Many head to Florida along with the retired teachers.

Michigan (like Cali) is a beautiful State once you get away from some of the cities, Saginaw, Flint, Detroit, etc. Surrounded by 3 Great Lakes it has to be boaters paradise.
