H aum gton feels that binding arbi
nation has given too much power
to the police association
"Ovei
the years the Police Union has
gamed an aw ful lot of power Thu
is the result ot the city, in an effort
to save money in contract negotia
tions, has bargained away manage
merit rights
Harrington said this has made the
Union a political force
The Union
has a lot ot money Each year they
sponsor a circus that comes to tow n
and probably earns over $100,000
They have a big tieasury o l approx
imately $400.000
This enables
them to take on every issue,
because they have the money
Harrington said Peters and the
Union are trying to take over m an
agement peuogatives something
she said is occurring nationwide
"I'v e heard national police union
leaders speak and say they teel that
this is a legitimate role tor police
unions
I am against this
Police
union leaders are usually patrol level
people
They have no manage
ment experience Besides this, the
people w ho support the police
agency are the ones w ho should
make policy decisions, not the
Union or workers, said Harrington
Harrington was asked about her
future plans? " I d o n 't know Every
thing is up in the air now . I am
trying to resolve my pension issue
w ith the city I hope it w ill be settled
so o n ."
She was asked d she w ould sue
the city if the city refused to give
her a pension? "Yes, if i am forced
to
I d o n 't w ant to, but if I have
to do so, I w ill.”
She said once the issue of her
pension is resolved, she w ould like
to spend some time w riting and
speaking nationally about issues re
garding police discipline, binding
arbitration, racism, police union
power, and other topics
" I want
to raise the conciousness of the
people in this country about police
unions and the danger I see Uut
criminal |ustice system is built on
the assumption that citizens volun
tanly obey the law
It the police
do n 't w ork hand in hand w ith the
com m unity, we are losing this Uur
system w ill break dow n and it will

to cause the breakdown is the
