Editorial–As Fairfield’s Random Act of Kindness program declared by First Selectman Tetreau winds down,  I hope our act of kindness is to give the Fairfield Police a half way decent contract.  The police in Fairfield have served in TWO hurricanes a  blizzard, and were one of the first on scene  in Newtown to give support without a contract.
I have to ask why is Fairfield anti union?  They strung the firefighters out on their contract for a long time, heck even the nurses union.  Fairfield has a proven track record of being anti-union, from the  First Selectman Tetreau to a lot of members on the RTM.  Forget a pay raise, did you know that the Fairfield Police haven’t had a cost of living increase since 2009?  Give them a half way decent health care plan, we count on their well being to protect us.  Contact First Selectman Tetreau at FirstSelectmanFFld@town.fairfield.ct.us or call him at 203-256-3030.  You can find your RTM members here

The press jumped all over  Republican Governor in Michigan for being anti-union.  Is this another media double standard because Fairfield is Democratic?
