Union vs. Chief or Chief vs. Union

Add comment March 17th, 2008

The tension between Chief Epperson and the Rockford Police union has seen a number of low points. I can’t think if a “high point” in the relationship from what I’ve read on rrstar.com. It seems to me that neither “side” has taken the steps necessary to resolve the conflict.

If you were the Chief, what steps would you take to solve this problem? If you served in the leadership of the union, what action would you take to fix this relationship problem?
