RPOA Members As a reminder, please respect your Negotiations Team as they work to get the best contract we can. Each of you can help by ensuring we do not discuss anything about negotiations outside our own membership. Please use discretion when discussing this topic amongst yourselves, in hallways or in a public place. Make sure spouses and/or significant others understand this too. Contract negotiations are sensitive issues and there is already word from outside the RPOA (outside the PD), about our internal discussions and specific numbers in regards to potential contracts. This information can be detrimental to our cause if it goes public. We understand there has been a lot of discussions
