Oakland Police Dept did not show any solidarity towards the Oakland Public Works Employees

Did you know that the Oakland Police Dept did not show any solidarity towards the Oakland Public Works employees when they were going through their budget cuts?
There were 300 public works employees that were laid off and 10% concessions made by public works employees along with mandatory furlough days. In addition, the public works employees must pay 8% towards their retirement.
Do you think this is fair that the Oakland Police Dept has not made any concessions through this economic turmoil but everyone has? Also did you know that the Oakland Mayor is unwilling to take a reduction in pay because he states that it creates a hardship?
What happened to “united we stand?”
