Mayor Brandon Johnson's opposition to police arbitration rights reflects a broader move to treat police officers as second-class public servants. This contrasts with the fair contract he approved.
While the new Chicago Police Department contract is seen as financially generous, the mayor's refusal to allow arbitration for misconduct cases undermines the fundamental rights of police officers.
The arbitrator's decision in the Fraternal Order of Police case emphasizes that police officers, like other public employees, deserve a fair hearing and due process in disciplinary matters.
Illinois law mandates that all public employees should have a fair arbitration process. The city’s attempt to deny police this right contradicts established labor rights across the state.
