Chicago Dispatchers: February 2007
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Well, that didn't work. Daley wins another election in a landslide. Better luck next time. By the way, when do contract negotiations start, again? Months after the current contract expires? Also from the same Scum-Times article:. 28 months. Don't the contracts last for 36? We seem to recall our previous contract expiring in 2004, and the new one getting ratified in October of 2006 - and not until after. Labels: Damn Damn Damn. Hell in a handbasket. The suburbs join in. If yo...

Chicago Dispatchers: Privatization Effect
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2008/02/privatization-effect.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2008. If this little experiment at Midway proves successful and public safety does not appear to be compromised, can the pco privatization be far behind? Posted by CPDDispatch @ 12:00 AM. Does anybody here have a myspace account, we should all try to talk and have fun outside of work too. If you have one post it up. 20 February, 2008 11:35.

Chicago Dispatchers: May 2007
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 22, 2007. We're finally getting new consoles. After 12 years of the dusty, antiquated bullshit we've been accustomed to, replacement will begin within a few weeks, starting with the PCTs. No word on what the design will look like (of course noone would ask the people who actually have to live with the consoles 24/7/365). But how could it not. Be an improvement over what we have now? Posted by CPDDispatch @ 12:10 PM. We foresee a lot more aggravation and frustration in our near future. Rumor ...

Chicago Dispatchers: September 2006
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 13, 2006. Another topic suggestion from a reader. Again, the names have been removed to protect the, coworkers, we suppose. And also. Again, if this is you, and you want to take credit for the suggestion, we'll be happy to add your name. But we assume that people prefer anonymity to protect themselves. Well, this is the same person who told the who city via the media that the 911 Center is "adequately staffed." Or whatever the exact words were, we'll update later. I think the time ha...

Chicago Dispatchers: Disarray on Days
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2008/02/disarray-on-days.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2008. What is going on with the 2nd watch? Thankfully, someone on high had the good sense to reign in this wm on that last point and rescind that edict, but for the most part the rest of these attempts to change the watch are going unchecked. And to what end? Posted by CPDDispatch @ 12:00 AM. Off topic but funny as all heck. Http:/ www.jibjab.com/sendables/view/zjSrAXOAY15A82ZwK3Eiq1Nc. 20 February, 2008 22:55.

Chicago Dispatchers: November 2006
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 30, 2006. A step in the right direction? In response to the NBC5 News garbage. Administrative personnel were present for roll calls. They say, in no uncertain terms, that they will not. Be addressing the media regarding the joke of an "expose," and will be taking the issue to the police department brass. If it's not just a publicity ploy, then we welcome it. It's about time someone in our building took our. Posted by CPDDispatch @ 12:00 AM. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. How many superv...

Chicago Dispatchers: Report Card
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2008/02/report-card.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Hope springs eternal at oemc. Even when all evidence suggests its a lost cause, Blogmaster continues to long for that day- in the not too distant future- when oemc finally turns the corner and becomes a model of best practices, efficacy, and is run by competent and qualified suits. Turf wars and petty infighting have characterized this regime with the chain of command being corrupted. One good example of the recent edict, then the rescinsion, then the reimplementaion of th...

Chicago Dispatchers: SPCO Meeting
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2008/02/spco-meeting.html
Friday, February 29, 2008. All this tolerance, though, is about to end and its because- allegedly- a few pcos who were granted a private audience with the ed ruiz complained. They complained that the spcos were not doing their jobs, that they were failing in their duties, and that said rules were not being enforced. WTF? Posted by CPDDispatch @ 12:00 AM. I have no problem with any/all rules, (necessary or silly) being totally enforced under one condition:. EQUALLY ACROSS THE BOARD (FLOOR) ON ALL WATCHES!

Chicago Dispatchers: March 2007
http://chicagodispatch.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 22, 2007. We don't really need to add any commentary to this. You'd think we wrote the last sentence ourselves, but this is from a reader on 3rd Watch:. Said in RC today that if you are mandated to stay OT you will not be given a "pass," the "pass" doesnt exist anymore. If you are mandated and don't stay you will get a CI automatically. Ah, just in time for summer. You've been forewarned. You regulars know who you are. Posted by CPDDispatch @ 12:00 AM. Sunday, March 18, 2007. Word is spre...
