I was hired by the city of Warwick as an outsider almost 25 years ago. The upheaval that this caused within the city of Warwick fire department was insane. It was not possible for a person to get a plum city job without having a political sponsor. How I was hired is still a point of contention within the department. This corruption can only exist with a compliant union from which political promotions and political hiring are par for the course. Having to complain about being harassed for nothing more than applying for and getting a city job by ordinary means is rather disheartening, being treated as a terrorist and enemy of the City of Warwick and local 2748 for legal and patriotic activities (complaining) is nothing short of warfare. My reputation was sullied continuously and with vengeance. 18 years ago it was common knowledge that I was suicidal or homicidal or some combination of both, though I have never had the slightest desire to harm myself in any way at any time in the whole of my life and aside from hitting someone back, you will have great difficulty finding another person I have harmed in the whole of my life and not one in my adult life. I was, at the time, going through a divorce and raising two children as a single parent, after surviving a couple of years of intense treatment for the stage 4 cancer my 2 year old child suddenly developed. You see, firefighting is stressful so the city does not acknowledge stress in firefighters, it is part of the job, is the official union position for me. Since stress does not exist, I am mentally ill. This is true because, at the very end of the divorce that kept me in my home with my children, I was told that I had to quit the fire department or be fired and I never found out whaty it was I was going to be fired for. That night I went to KCMH because I had had enough of it. Not of my life, but the treatment I was receiving from politically appointed thugs. Those thugs showed up at the hospital, talked to a doctor about me before I did and left before I did. I left the hospital of my own accord, I met a battalion chief and hande3d him every bit of information the hospital gave me, it did not say I was crazy, but in the city of Warwick and its corrupt union, the chief wins. so now I am crazy too. The city of Warwick Warwick is a wholly corrupt place. The person who was supposed to get my job was a good softball player, a good friend to many firefighters, many of whom celebrated his great victory in becoming the number one spot on the City of Warwick fire department new promotional list that was going to be made public the very next day, oops, found his way to another city job from which he received great praise from the fire chief that was unable to hire him and was eventually charged with some sort of corrupt illegal activities, not any false charges like domestic terrorism that have been levied against me in some form or another by the City of Warwick fire department and its union over the last 25 years, but more organized crime in nature.

If you want a nice city job, all you have to do is know what job will be available, when it will be available and what the criteria for employment is before anyone else. The part of this process that keeps family and friends running the city as a personal business is the advanced or sole knowledge that the city has a job for a citizen, and what one needs to qualify.

It is nice when you advertise but wouldn't it be more fair for the other citizens that the government is supposed to serve to have the same timely opportunity as "made members" of the family?
