Due to the nature of our job (public safety) a judge would order us back to work immediately. If you ignored that order you would be subject to criminal prosecution (hence the indictment reference). Additionally, nobody cares that we did not get an additional 1% or so on our contract with so many out of work. You also lose the support of those that become the victim of crime because we were picketing and not working. That reality. When was the last time you saw Police picketing anywhere?
