New York Oct 26 2015 The NYPD has suffered its worst spate of fatal shootings of on-duty cops in 26 years, with four officers slain in 10 months.
Officer Randolph Holder became the fourth on Tuesday, following Brooklyn cops Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos in December, and Queens cop Brian Moore in May.
Not since 1989 have so many officers been gunned down on duty in such a short period.
That year, four cops were shot to death between March and November.
The NYPD’s worst years were 1930 (with 19 fatally shot on duty), 1931 (18), 1938 (17), 1922 (17), 1932 (15) and 1971 (15).
Prohibition, bootlegging and the Great Depression are blamed for the large tolls of the 1920s and 1930s.
The 1971 carnage is attributed to the Black Liberation Army and other militants in the city.

Four former security guards are suing G4S Secure Solutions for $3.5 million, claiming the international security company’s kiosk in a Gresham shopping center was run by a devoutly Christian supervisor who told employees their gay family members were going to hell, played videos about the Illuminati and warned that the security kiosk could be attacked by demons.
Lawsuit Says Gresham Security-Guard Supervisor Wanted To Defend Shopping Center Against Demons
The suit says supervisor referred to the Gresham Station security kiosk as a “church,” posted Bible verses on the walls, and held daily “prayer circles” with two other guards.
Four former security guards are suing G4S Secure Solutions for $3.5 million, claiming the international security company’s kiosk in a Gresham shopping center was run by a devoutly Christian supervisor who told employees their gay family members were going to hell, played videos about the Illuminati and warned that the security kiosk could be attacked by demons.
The religious discrimination lawsuit, filed Oct. 5 in Multnomah County Circuit Court, says when the four guards complained to upper management about supervisor Sarah Houser, they were fired.
Florida-based G4S is one of the largest security contractors in the U.S. The company runs security teams for the UK Foreign Commonwealth Office in Afghanistan, but stateside it’s mostly a staffing agency for private security guards. Its Oregon contracts include Google’s data center in The Dalles and wafer manufacturer Siltronic in Portland.
The four former guards—Wayne Rush Jr., Andrew Gale, Jimmy DrennanIII, and Alphonso Nunez–had previously worked with G4S at other Portland-area sites before arriving at Gresham Station, a shopping center with an Old Navy, a Dress Barn and a Bed Bath & Beyond.
In the lawsuit, the four guards say Houser held training sessions for Gresham Station security guards by showing a series of Christian videos on YouTube and playing recorded sermons “about God, demons, conspiracies and the Illuminati.”
The suit says Houser referred to the Gresham Station security kiosk as a “church,” posted Bible verses on the walls, and held daily “prayer circles” with two other guards. The suit says she told Rush that “they needed more Christian people to work at the Gresham Station because they were ‘opening the gates for demons to enter the site.'”
The lawsuit says Houser told Rush in May that gay people “have a choice, and they will burn in Hell because they don’t have God in their lives.”
Rush told her his future mother-in-law and his fiancee’s brother were both gay. The suit says Houser replied, “Well, they are going to hell Wayne and that’s just the truth and sometimes the truth hurts.”
The suit says the four guards submitted written complaints to regional managers about the “fervent evangelizing” by Houser and two other guards at the kiosk. The suit says G4S responded by firing all four guards.
G4S Secure Solutions and Houser did not respond to requests for comment.

Unions are about a simple proposition: By joining together, working women and men gain strength in numbers so they can have a voice at work about what they care about. They negotiate a contract with their employer for things like a fair and safe workplace, better wages, a secure retirement and family-friendly policies such as paid sick leave and scheduling hours. They have a voice in how their jobs get done, creating a more stable, productive workforce that provides better services and products. Always adapting to the challenges of our nation’s evolving workforce, unions are meeting the needs of workers in today’s flexible and nontraditional work environments. Because no matter what type of job workers are in, by building power in unions, they can speak out for fairness for all working people in their communities and create better standards and a strong middle class across the country.
THE UNION DIFFERENCE
Union members earn better wages and benefits than workers who aren’t union members. On average, union workers’ wages are 27 percent higher than their nonunion counterparts.
Unionized workers are 54 percent more likely to have employer-provided pensions.
More than 83 percent of union workers have jobs that provide health insurance benefits, but only 62 percent of nonunion workers do. Unions help employers create a more stable, productive workforce—where workers have a say in improving their jobs.
Unions help bring workers out of poverty and into the middle class. In fact, in states where workers don’t have union rights, workers’ incomes are lower.
WHO ARE UNION MEMBERS?
There are over 60 unions representing over 14 million workers throughout the country.
No matter what work you do, there’s a union that represents your work. Teachers and miners, firefighters and farm workers, bakers and engineers, pilots and public employees, doctors and nurses, patients and plumbers, bus drivers, office workers and computer professionals are all union members.
BENEFITS OF BELONGING TO A UNION
One of the big reasons workers join a union is to ensure fair treatment in the workplace. As a union member, you have a collective voice regarding:
pay & wages,
work hours,
benefits – including retirement plans, health insurance, vacation and sick leave, tuition reimbursement, etc.,
working conditions,
workplace health and safety,
ways to balance work and family,
the best ways to get work completed,
and other work-related issues.
Another advantage of belonging to a union is that members earn 30% more than non-union workers. And if you’re a union worker, you are also much more likely to have health and pension benefits.
In addition, unions give workers like you a strong collective voice that’s heard in government. Unions represent workers in talks with lawmakers, and remind politicians that working families voted them into office.
Some of the benefits – like the weekend – that workers take for granted today were initially provided by unions.
HOW DO UNIONS WORK?
A labor or trade union is an organization of workers dedicated to protecting members’ interests and improving wages, hours and working conditions for all. No matter what you do for a living, there’s a union with members who do the same thing. Unions represent:
police & security officers,
teachers,
factory workers,
office workers,
actors,
musicians,
construction workers,
airline pilots,
janitors,
plumbers,
doctors & nurses,
pharmacists,
IT/computer professionals,
government workers at all levels,
engineers & mechanics
writers,
and many more types of workers.
HERE’S HOW UNIONS WORK TO MAKE AMERICA STRONG
Unions work like a democracy. They hold elections for officers who make decisions on behalf of members.
A local union is a locally-based group of workers. A local may include workers from the same company or region. It may also have workers from the same business sector, employed by different companies.
Did you know there are over 60 national/international unions that represent millions of workers across America and Canada? It starts with the formation of a bargaining unit. This is a group represented by a union for dealing with an employer. This group of workers must either be voluntarily recognized by their employer, or a majority of workers in the bargaining unit must vote for representation.
It is legal for employers to try to persuade employees not to unionize. However, it is illegal for an employer to prevent employees from unionizing through threats, violence, and other coercive action. It is also illegal for unions to use lies or threats of violence to intimidate employees into joining.
An employer is required by law to bargain in good faith with a union, although an employer is not required to agree to any particular terms. Once an agreement is reached through negotiations, a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is signed. A CBA is a negotiated agreement between a labor union and an employer that sets terms of employment for members of that union including wages, hours, conditions, vacation, sick days, and benefits.
After a CBA is signed, an employer can’t change details of the agreement without the union representative’s approval. The CBA lasts for a set period of time with the union monitoring to assure the employer abides by the contract. If a union believes an employer has breached the CBA, the union can file a grievance, which may be resolved through arbitration.
As with many other organizations, union costs are paid by member dues that typically cost about $50 a month. Most unions have paid staff to manage their operations. While some staff may be paid by union dues, members also often volunteer.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
Collective bargaining is the process in which working people, through their unions, negotiate contracts with their employers to determine their terms of employment, including pay, benefits, hours, leave, job health and safety policies, ways to balance work and family and more. Collective bargaining is a way to solve workplace problems.
After the rights of public employees to collectively bargain for a middle-class life came under attack in 2010, working people in all kinds of jobs as well as students, community supporters, faith leaders and others united to defend this basic right.
The United States has long lagged behind other industrialized nations in collective bargaining coverage for public- and private-sector workers. Yet the right to collectively bargain is essential so that working men and women have the strength to improve their living standards, provide for their families and build a strong middle class.
YOUR RIGHTS AT WORK
Working people in America have certain basic legal rights to safe, healthy and fair conditions at work. But many employers—perhaps yours—violate these fundamental rights because they value their profits more than their workers. For example, you have rights related to:
Age
Agricultural Workers
Denied Paid Overtime
Disability
Fair Labor Standards Act
Family and Medical Leave
Gender Discrimination
Genetic Information
Hurt on the Job
Misclassified as an Independent Contractor
Pregnancy
Punished for Supporting a Union

Religion
Retaliation for Filing a Complaint
Sexual Orientation
Sexually Harassed
Terminated or Laid Off the Job
Unemployment Benefits
Unsafe/Unhealthy Job Conditions
U.S. Reservist
Wage Garnishment
Wage Theft
Youth Employment
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF LABOR UNIONS?
The origin of labor unions dates back to the eighteenth century and the industrial revolution in Europe. During this time there was a huge surge of new workers into the workplace that needed representation.
In the United States history of unions, early workers and trade unions played an important part in the role for independence. Although their physical efforts for the cause of independence were ineffective, the ideas they introduced, such as protection for workers, became part of our American culture.
LABOR UNION HISTORY IN THE U.S. BEGAN IN THE 19TH CENTURY
The history of unions in the United States exploded in the nineteenth century with the founding of the National Labor Union (NLU) in 1866. Unlike today’s unions, the NLU was not exclusive to a particular type of worker. And although the NLU crumbled without making significant gains in establishing workers’ rights, its founding set an important precedent in our country.
Soon after, the Knights of Labor emerged in 1869. This group’s membership peaked at about 700,000 and its efforts were focused on addressing key issues such opposition to child labor and demands for an eight-hour day.
