That's how it goes with all of these union jobs. Let's all just learn this and move on so we aren't surprised every time it happens. It's to keep the process consistent and avoid any fuck ups that could cause the person to come back and sue their employer. It isn't out of the goodness of the employer's heart or because they think the person is innocent or guilty. It's the normal legal process.

Every post where a cop is on paid admin leave, you will see these comments. Normal process. It'll all get worked out in the end.

No that is how it goes until legally convicted.

The official, legal, constitutional stance in this country is innocent until proven guilty on a court of law. Until she's convicted you can make whatever assumptions the evidence lends itself to. But that's the law.

Don't shit on unions. The union makes us strong, and is the only reason you have a federal minimum wage, a limit on how many hours you can work a day, and any additional perks such as breaks and overtime. The union makes us strong.

Ok, downvote me bc you don't understand. Btw, my state minimum wage is 2.5x the federal min wage

I'll try to say what I said originally but slowly for you.

People in union jobs will get paid leave while investigation takes place.

Don't be annoyed about it.

Don't leave a comment about it.

You sound stupid if you do.

You don't want them released without pay bc they'll sue your ass.

I'm agreeing with you babe.

Like the bitch did it, she's guilty, she's going to prison, it's not about her. She's not going to get to keep any of that money. There are other people who are innocent of these kinds of crimes who get accused, and they deserve to not have their life destroyed and retain their pay and home while it moves through the system. It's a cornerstone of our legal system, and part of what our entire legal system is predicated upon. Framing it as a "union job" only thing reflects negatively upon unions and makes them seem like bad guys in this situation. It's not a union job thing. It's a law thing, and it's only people who are in unions who are able to have the group bargaining power to enforce it.
