Seems to be a pattern. In the corporate world, something like this would take an afternoon.

a federal govt dept that awarded contracts to weapons suppliers.

During one of our many fly fishing trips, he told me the sad tale of one of his underlings that had not been in the office for over a year, and was still receiving his government (paid by us) paycheck.

Dad initiated the requirements to get him fired. It took him almost two years (in which time the "employee" still received his government paycheck) to finally get the authorization to fire him.

Unions can be lifesavers for those who really need them, but sometimes they are an impediment to justice.

And it can very quite annoying. But, at the end of the day, if we need to pull the trigger, we can in a somewhat reasonable amount of time. Not two damn years...with pay.

Unions help support our party, so I give them lots of leeway. But, two years for a parasite....mmmm, no. Lol

I support unions, but I have a REAL problem with police unions and others like them that drag the process out for absurd lengths of time, and do it to protect corrupt, unqualified people that aren't qualified to be gutter sweepers.

Old timey gospel -

'We'll all be white in the heavenly light.'

Newer playings have changed that phrase.

I'm a big Union Supporter BUT Police Union's are a different story in a major way.
