Walton Deputies To Unionize.

[Bob Wells]

I think what JB1 was referring to was that the Union was defeated at WCSO. For those keeping a tally, there were 128 eligible, 50 voted no, 20 voted yes. That was as of 1/22/09 according to the PERC website. Better luck next year, maybe the Teamsters will come in and chat with the Deputies. I am curious, can any Deputy tell me how many of the 220 employees are road Deputies and what the rest of these employees do?

Firing under way? What in the world does that mean? Does not take long to tell someone to go home.

Jobs are hard to come by right now and I hate to see anyone lose a job, especially one they have had for years. That said, the firings I have heard about since the new Sheriff took over were deserved. If you know different, share it with us.
