Police association to vote again on new shift proposal

THUNDER BAY – Uniformed city police officers are voting again on whether to adopt a major change in their shift schedule. 

Contract negotiations continue between the Police Association and the Thunder Bay Police Service Board, with 12-hour shifts back on the table. 

In 2008, the municipal police force and its union negotiated a move from 8-hour to 10-hour shifts. 

But a potential move to 12-hour shifts was rejected by the majority of officers in July. 

Sources say some of the terms of the new contract have been adjusted, and officers are voting again on the shift change proposal. 

Vote results are expected by the end of this week.

Just plain goofy to reject 12 hour shifts, but I guess there's more money in it for them, running confusing, over-lapping schedules. Anyone who's worked or scheduled shift work knows this. Quit running City Dept's like they are some sort of Country Club.

You can't call it goofy if you haven't seen the proposed schedule. If the majority rejected it, it was for a reason.

12 hour shifts are dumb and won't save a bit of overtime cost.

when they went to tens joe virdiramo told us they would save money. now they need 12's to save money. does anyone at that place have a clue as to what is going on. Crime is up, costs are up, wages are up, and we can't even comment on most police matters on this site.

the police service needs a new engine, drive train, frame, seats, doors, glass and electronics. The exhaust system seems to be working as most that comes out of the place is hot air.

most of the people there should be embaressed on pay day.

You armchair experts should lend your knowledge to them so it can be done once, and done right.
