In July, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 93 members voted to take eight furlough days with the rest of the city’s workforce, rather than see 48 fellow officers laid off from the force.

However, when further budget cuts were required, 21 officers were laid off last week. Eighteen of those officers have been rehired using federal stimulus grant funds.

It doesn't matter what the union vote is. Tulsa officials can't reduce their pay but they can lay off(fire)as many as needed to balance the budget. FOP cuts their nose off to spite their face.
