COPS UNDERVALUED

Cops Undervalued

To the Editor:

Do you ever read the responses from Police Officers about our contract talks? If you did, you would notice that just about all are in favor of Pat Lynch and not the city.

The other unions just surrendered and gave in to the city. However, Pat Lynch knows that his members are undervalued, so he refused to put his members out for sale as the other unions did. Remember that we are now going into arbitration for a lousy 3 percent and 3.15 percent that the FDNY accepted.

Editor's note: Mr. Rodriguez is a retired Police Officer who served in the 102nd Precinct.
