Police Slowdown Triggers Blue Flu Tactics in Long Beach
The Long Beach Police Officers Association claims refusal to negotiate raises and cost of living adjustments spurred a police slowdown. About 66 officers were on duty during night watch, including motorcycle units and detectives, while 25 from day shift remained on call, as disputes persisted and plans for possible disciplinary action emerged for illness-related absences. A newspaper ad blamed the city for lacking a salary agreement, and POA officials pressed for a living wage and more hires amid union talks and potential Teamsters affiliation. A separate item notes Rev Nicolas Walsh named bishop of Yakima by Pope Paul VI.
