    The 3  stooge's in charge have asked the captains for a list of volunteers that will work over night   to cover the Rye Brook station . 5 of the 7 company's so far have turned them down with no answer from the other 2 .

    I don't live in Rye Brook, but this would seriously bother me: (From Journal News)
     
    "... the village will save $800,000 next year through eliminating base salaries totaling $600,000, as well as associated benefits, overtime and equipment costs, officials said."
     
    So for eight full time positions, including benefits and other perks Port Chester is saving $800k by eliminating these positions.
     
    "Rye Brook has paid Port Chester just under $1 million a year to staff the Rye Brook firehouse for a 12-hour overnight shift."
     
    Okay, I'm not a mathematician, but Rye Brook has been paying Port Chester a million bucks for one half time position and Port Chester has been paying less than a million bucks for eight full-time positions.  So the Rye Brook contract pays for the entire paid Port Chester staff annually, but they still can't keep them on? Port Chester has made an annual profit of $200k thanks to Rye Brook! Anyone else see something wrong here?
     
    Like I said in the first sentence, I don't live in Rye Brook, but if I were mayor, now that the contract has been breached I'd be doing the math that Port Chester has now supplied and sue going back to the original date of contract for the total amount they overpaid for the half-time position they were given.  There is obvious fraud here on many levels.  Port Chester is going to end up paying so much more on this one in the end...

    Having been a cop down south and in NY, I have to say unions. Texas and most states down south do not have the right to collective bargaining and union protection. You have no civil service protection and if they don't like you anymore you're gone! They can't fire you based on race, religion etc... because those are your FLSA rights, but they can fire you because you've underperformed on the job. Right to work states are a very different animal and coming from one to a state with unions it's very nice to say the least. Unions afford you many, many more rights than a job down south. They have fought for so many years to protect their members from a pissed off boss who just wants to fire you. Remember these points if you're up here and frustrated with the hiring processes of the northeast. If you move south to better yourself you're also losing that one protection which is priceless when you need your delegate. I'm lucky to have never had to deal with being administratively messed with, but raises are few and far between in right to work states. They only come whenever your local government decides to give you one, not when your union has negotiated one for you. I hope this helps the topic a little.
