Hello, this is Mubarak Abdul-Jabbar, Second Vice-President of the New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. Thank you for calling the PBA Hotline. Election news The PBA has scored a major win in November's general election with about 90% of our endorsements winning election. We are happy to report that every New York City Council candidate who received the PBA's endorsment for election were victorious. The PBA helped to elect a total of 43 City Council members this time out. In Nassau county, this PBA played a role in electing 36 officials into office. Council members, judges, county supervisors and supreme court judges in Nassau county proudly carried the NYC PBA's endorsement to the voters and the voters carried them into office. We also supported 11 victorious candidates for various offices in Suffolk, Ulster, Putnam, Rensselear and other counties as well. Click here for the complete list of PBA-endorsed winners. Vacation controversy After a meeting with the police commissioner, the department has reconsidered its elimination of two vacation-pick weeks during the Republican national convention. It was the PBA's view that this was an unfair practice to eliminate two choice summer weeks and was a violation of our contract. The two weeks that are being reinstated are Monday, August 23, 2004 through Sunday, September 5, 2004. Donated gunlocks We have received the second installment of 10,000 donated gunlocks from Project Childsafe. These locks will be distributed through your board members. The PBA is coordinating the final delivery of locks with Project Childsafe. Keep up with the latest information by visiting the PBA website at www.nycpba.org and by calling this Hotline regularly. This is Mubarak Abdul-Jabbar. Thanks for calling the PBA Hotline. |
